[net.pets] declawing, etc.

I overheard this conversation between the receptionist at the vet and
someone on the phone:

    "Your dog's been scratching the bottoms of your doors?  Well, you
    can bring him in to have his claws trimmed."

    "It's temporary so you'll probably have to do it periodically."

    "No, I'm sorry, ma'am, Doctor [vet] won't do amputations."

At this point, the other people in the waiting room and I looked at each
other and started to snicker.  The receptionist finally told the caller
that she could probably put metal plates on the bottoms of her doors.
