This thread is interesting to hear because Brian and I just trimmed Destiny and Dakota's nails on Tuesday. Surprisingly, Dakota was easier than Destiny. They both hate having their nails trimmed and fight with all their might. However, Dakota was laying on the couch so I just laid on top of her while Brian took the dog nail trimmers and cut her nails. They've never had them cut too short and have only had them done about 4 or 5 times with no problems (besides their fighting us) any of those times. Since Destiny is smaller, she's harder to get ahold of and she really tries to get away. With her, Brian has to end up practically laying on her and holding her tightly so that I can get in there and trim hers. I'm so worried about how I'm going to get this and a few other tasks with them done while he is deployed overseas. I guess these are the least of our worries, but they are thoughts that have come to my mind!
