I knew I should have waited. Now to explain - - I had to stop at Lowe's today after work, and there is a PetsMart next door. I decided to run in there to look at dremels and they were $59.99. I was not going to spend that much so I left with the thought that I would drive to Walmart. Then the thought struck me that I could probably find one at Lowe's. I did find one, although it was $39.99. It is cordless with two speeds and felt nice and light in my hand (some were on display in the store). I went ahead and bought it, all the time thinking to myself - "you could probably get this for half the price at Walmart." Anyway, I'll try the one from Lowe's and if it doesn't work out I will return it and buy the one at Walmart.

I have been wanting a dremel for quite some time now. I also belong to a poodle board and most of the gals there use them. When I first got Bella I did all of her grooming (monthly) and did her nails weekly. I then used a groomer for about six months (monthly) and I wasn't so good with the interim nail clipping, and the quick has grown down more than I like it to be. I went back to doing my own grooming and I do the dogs' nails weekly. I think with the dremel I might be able to get closer each week and maybe get them shorter in time. It will also be nice to be able to cut Ripley's nails shorter (they are totally black) without cutting the quick. I feel like I am really cutting blind with him. I'll let you know how I do. I plan to try them tomorrow.
