I'm sorry, it seems like every day I have questions for you people. I do search the archives before I ask, I promise!

Anyways, today's question of the day is....how do I restrain a 1 lb dog without hurting her? I trimmed the nails on her back two paws last night, but I still need to do the fronts...AND I purchased a Wahl Razor (a big one and a small one) to trim the fur on her ears. She is a total wigglebutt though! She struggles and struggles, without giving up. You'd think she'd get tired, but NOPE! Do I wrap her in a towel? Is there some kind of special Yorkie hold to keep her still? I could wait until my hubby gets home and ask him to hold her, but I know he'll be afraid of hurting her (as I am too) because of her size. Is there a special way to do this safely?

Thanks a million!
