Yes, I trimmed Katie's nails!
This was no easy feat for me. My girl hates to have her nails trimmed. When she was a pup she would sit there so sweet and let me do it with ease....but....I made the dreadful mistake of clipping one too short and that was all it took, she would no longer allow me to trim them. So the few times that she has had them trimmed have been at the vets and you can probably hear her a mile away and you would think she was dying!
Well, Katie had a bath the other day and was looking so pretty and fluffy and then of course I look down and her nails were just awful looking...sooo long! I hate that! So yesterday I was going to call and see if I could take her to get her nails trimmed. Before I called I went ahead and did Tori's. Tori doesn't like it either but when she is scared or nervous she will run to her crate for safety. This actually make it easy for me. I just lay down in her crate and trim her nails and she hardly moves. She just looks at me with those blue eyes looking so sad. Her big sister was staring at her through the crate bars like "Oh MY, what are you doing to little sis?" Katie was actually doing some little whines while I was trimming Tori's :rolleyes: I just looked up at her and said "You are next!" I figured since I do Tori while she is laying in her crate I would try the same thing with Katie. I have Katie go in her crate and I'm sitting outside the door trying to trim one foot and it is not going so well. She is yelping and whining and acting like she is going to bite my hand. The next thing I know I am completely in the crate with her...lol. She is trying to push me down so she can crawl over me and get out so I actually close the door and lock it....lol. So there I am locked in the crate with my Katie girl!!! What a site we must have been. I hate to say it but I actually wished that someone could have been there to take a picture of us. It took me quite awhile to get the nails all done because after each nail I had to give her lots of lovin', plenty of hugs and kisses and letting her know that she was being so good. My ears were ringing from all of her high pitched yelps though! And....all of that acting like she was going to bite my hands was just that...ACTING! Not once did she bite me or even attempt to hurt me. In fact I got lots of kisses every time I reassured her. My big girl is just a BIG BABY!!
LOL...even though I wasn't looking my best I really do wish you guys could have seen me locked up in the crate with Katie doing her nails.......TOO FUNNY!!!
Hope you enjoyed my silly story!
