So the picture above is of Tasha's feet. I'm hoping you can make out her duclaws (the nails that are on the side of a dog's feet rather than on the actual footpad; not all dogs have them on all feet). Her left duclaw (to the right in the picture) is normal; her right duclaw (circled on left) was broken last weekend while playing a little too hard with her buddy Sasha. It was sticking straight out. We kept an eye on it and the nail fell off a couple days ago. She's not in pain from it and there are no exposed nerves (a small bit of nail was left intact), so we are leaving her as is. For once (knock on wood), we managed to avoid a big vet bill.
