[NAGDU] tools to clip nails

[Buddy Brannan]

Field rep? Unless you've met unusual field reps, generally speaking, the schools will more likely try to put the fear of god into you about nail trimming. You know, how you can really hurt your dog. How "even sighted people cut too short" (let's explore the subtext of a statement like that another time?).
