As I have never been able to get used to the feel of fingerpicks of any sort, I can kinda' understand from a backwards direction what you're feeling. BTW, Dremels work very well on nails for shaping, and buffing.....they are used by most owner/handlers of larger breed show dogs. I can hook you up with a Weimaraner breeder Rick, not far from Toronto. As a matter of fact, her dogs have even done movies (the Weim in "Best In Show"-'Take Me Dancing'-- and she owns the Canadian Grand National Champion-'Riverdance').....If you arrive in a crate, she'll probably not notice you're not a dog.
