The bloody nail/depressed dog

Marley had a little bit of a tough go of it today.  Daddy decided to clip his toenails because they were getting so long they were starting to curl.  He is actually very good about getting his nails cut.  Daddy got a little clipper-happy and Marley ended up with a bloody nail.  He didn't cry at all.  Marley must have a high tolerance for pain.  I've deduced this based on the number of time I have slammed his head with the dishwasher door and still every time I open the thing his head is right in there. 
 
Marley didn't get upset until we put a sock, a plastic bag and some hockey tape on it to save our carpets from the bloody nail.  Once the bag went on, he was super depressed.  Most dogs would have figured out to bite it off, this bag was not on all that great, but not our Marley.  He just sulked around the house like someone stole his spirit. 
 
Here he is with the Curt Schilling bloody sock...
