Wow, had I known I'd get brushed, I would've made a call on you, Richard, when I last visited my son! I'll clean my own ears though, thank you very much and I wouldn't clip my nails b/c my nail tech would kill me. How nice that you can do all that for your little frens. My Fur Posse will barely let me do that to them. The only time I've ever been able to trim all of Yodie's claws is when she was wearing her collar after surgery. I manage two or three claws and then things turn nasty! You deserve an "atta boy!", Richard.
