I am going to make my mother-in-law's dog into a rug. I am babysitting sweet little Abby, the yellow lab, for three weeks. This morning I was trying to hold her back, to get her to stop jumping on the plumber, she bolted and RIPPED MY GEL FINGERNAIL OFF!!!!!

It broke way way below the French nail line and it is bleeding everywhere. (aarrgghh, swoon at sight of blood...) My manicurist, the only one I trust within forty miles I might add, is in Mexico right now, the lucky gal.

Any advice on what I do for it? Dry open air, keep covered? I have never had this happen before because I wear them really short, so I don't know if it can be fixed right away...

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love and worship my labradors even my mother-in-law's. But I am a complete and utter wimp. So right now, a little bit, I might hate my lovely dogs….
