Bella probably wouldn't approve because she is a bit of a tomboy! Personally I wouldn't go to the trouble to do it but I have no problems with anyone doing it if they want to. I also don't go to the trouble to do any of the fancy cuts either. Guess I am just lazy.

I just read on a poodle site that I visit about painting their toenails. I would be crazy enough to do it if I had a poodle who seemed to fit the "sophisticated" mold. Bella doesn't! LOL! For those who may be lurking and wondering about doing poodle nails, or any other breed for that matter, the suggestion was to poke the nails through some old pantyhose and then paint them. That way you don't get polish on the dog's fur. Pretty clever, huh? As I said, though, Bella would not approve and of course Ripley is ALL MAN (minus a few very important parts!) LOL!
