I understand the nail problem. Nikka has never let me touch her's from the time I first got her. It's the one time she's tried to bite. I finally gave up and took her into the vet because they were to long. 45 minutes later we had a discussion with the techs and vets regarding sedating her, they decided to give it one more try and with the help of 4 techs they finally got them clipped. In the end she "expressed" and peed all over the back room she was so upset. This is a dog that loves everyone and is always happy even at the vets. I've learned to live with her's being on the long side.

It's hard to accept them getting older, but you still have time with Simba, just enjoy all those special moments.
