a must

I'm definitely the same. Gonzo wears his own nails down because he goes on a jog with my sister on dirt/road trails every day, but I still clean them and clip off any chipped pieces all the time to keep them healthy. I do Fozzie's all the time, to keep them short and to get him accustomed to nail clipping.

They get a lot of meals outside, when it's RMB's. But if it's pre-made or muscle meat/organs or veggies, I totally clean out their bowls right when they are done also.

not weird at all..I hate when my 2's nails are long , i try and keep them pretty short..I also wash their bowls after they eat, its a habit

I'm the same way about nails. I can't stand seeing long nails re hearing the "click, click, click" constantly. I also can't stand untrimmed paws, ears, etc. on long coated breeds. Actually, I don't like to see any dog that isn't groomed nicely.

My dogs dishes get washed daily also, sometimes twice depending on how dirty they get them.

I know a lot of people like to keep the nails short but I probably clip them 3 times a year.

I am that way with their bowls & cleaning their ears & giving them baths, i try to clip their toes once a week, but its not always easy, thats the one thing they both HATE! lol

But i can say my dogs have the cleanest ears ever!!!

I can't stand long nails, I am constantly trimming nails, usually once a week, except for Raustyk, her nails grow so fast for some reason, she often needs hers done every 5 days or so. I usually trim their feet hair once a week on Nanook and about once every other week on Kaige. Raustyk doesn't need hers done, she's short hair.

I hate matts & never had a dog with that problem before, that is until I got Kaige. The hair under his ears matts up kind of easily so he gets brushed everyday.

Eye boogers, I hate them. I wipe my dogs eyes everytime I see even the slightest eye booger. I also can not stand eye stains, knock on wood I have never had that problem.
