LOL! LOL! I have the "evil stuff" all in the same box and when I get that box Bella runs over to the recliner and curls up in a ball and turns her head away and won't look at me. I think she thinks if she doesn't look at me then she is invisible and I can't see her either!

Mine each get their nails cut every 3 weeks. The groomer does Bella every six weeks and I do her once in between, and so I do Ripley on the same days.

Bella isn't crazy about the whole thing but she cooperates and her nails are light so it's easy to see the quick. Ripley, on the other hand, has black nails and he was good until one day when I took a little too much off one nail and made him bleed. He is just starting to re-trust me. His nails were sooo long when we first got him that I have only ever taken just the tips off because I know the quick does grow down. Unfortunately I misjudged once and it took him a long time to forget it.
