Yep. Nicki does all the time... but only her back paws and she stops when she starts getting near the vein. She's had BAD experiences with getting her paws trimmed - like everytime we took her, they cut the vein not once or twice, at least 6-8 times. She will not let anyone trim her nails anymore. She's very very delicate about her nail trimming and even the vet has commented on how neat she is. I keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't gnaw too much off, but she never has and she's been doing it for 7 or 8 years now.
