Still not fully comfortable/thrilled about doing nails, but I swear I will get there!
Yesterday had two in with ultra long nails-y'know-the ones that curl to the side. In between the dancing, got all cut. And then I figure maybe I can get a little more, cuz they are still wwaayyyy long. Oops-so is the quick...'bloody' good time.
Today another crazy. I have been doing her nails since she was a pup, and have never quicked her. But she has decided she doesn't want it done, and by gum she means it! Have carefully but determinedly not let go of her feet, but no way am I taking a snip at a moving target, and she has taken the same dislike to the dremel. Last time was truly a rodeo, but she would stop a moment and look at me to see if she thought she could win. So she didn't. Well today I realized my stand dryer is just sitting there, so I pulled it over and turned it on her head/neck. It was so novel that she almost forgot to fight! When she did it much more of a token resistance. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy new "toys" to distract her each month, but hooray for [email protected]!!!
Neighbor now wants me to do whatever I have to in order to get her daschund's nails under control. Darn long pokey nose is much longer than her dear little legs. Not seeing how the GH setup is going to keep her darling little nose and tongue safely out of the way, so guess it's the hugging technique for her. Open to any other techniques/suggestions/references.
