  I just finished Rucy’s nails and tipped her back onto my chest to take her back to the bunny room. I was wearing a zippered sweatshirt and as I knelt down to get her back on the ground she eagerly pounced off, but her nail got stuck inbetween the zipper teeth and pulled completely off!
  
  YYEEEEOUUCH!!! So, i cleaned it, and put some neosporin on it. She’s also already on antibiotics from her tooth extraction surgery, and I have some left over pain meds to keep her compfy, but I will have to keep an eye on it to make sure it heals properly and so that infection doesn’t sets in. Poor baby! I wanted to comfort her, but when I went to her, she was so stink-eyeing me, that I thought better of it.
  
  So i have learned my lesson. Zippers and bunnies don’t mix.

  OH OW!!!!!!!!! That does sound ouchy!
  
  So zippers are not a good idea… eventually we’ll all be trimming bunny nails “au naturel” so they can’t get caught anywhere…. lol!

  I am so sorry to hear that happened, it is so awful when little accidents like that happen and then of course you get the blame and stink eye- as if you did not feel bad enough already.
