Wylie - is a NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET X A BILLION. Horrible. It's because when we used to take him to the groomer (a few times when he was 9mths-16mths), they cut his quick - and he has been terrorized ever since. After we realized this was happening - NO more groomer, ever.
So, we had to wrap him tight in a towel - with one paw out, me holding him with every bit of strength - and Tony would clip. I mean, practically impossible. It was like holding a 2-ton gorilla. Eventually, we graduated to me holding w/out the towel - which is what we do now. But still, he struggles, pants, and freaks out as if we're going to chop off his very arm - it's just awful. I try to tell him "NO" when he struggles and "good" when he manages to stay calm.
I so feel your pain.  |
Oh for heavens sake girl...you really DO go through what I do!
Geez, it will make you crazy, I swear!! I am DEFINITELY going to be trying this towel technique...say a prayer for me! I hope I don't smother the little guy, LOL! I can just picture him wrapped up like a bean burrito with his head and only one paw sticking out....LOL. Cracks me up just thinking about it!
He is really going to think we've lost our minds now
Oh well, if it works, it works! I'll let you know how it goes whenever we try it! Thanks a ton girl!
