I feel like such a bad mommy and I'm close to tears... It was the long dreaded time to clip Maggie's toe nails and it was a big fight like always. Maggie is our 4 y.o. rescue and the sweetest and most patient little girl you can imagine. There is not a mean bone in her and she knows nothing but kisses and obedience... until the nail clippers come out...
She was not always like that but when we first got her I wanted to show some gratefulness for the local groomer who gave a good review of our place for our adoption application and took Maggie there to get groomed and her toe nails clipped. I did hear a commotion in the back and Maggie protesting and the lady told me that I had to work with Maggie so her toe nails wouldn't be a problem. I was puzzled b/c when I did it the time before she was like an angel. Long story short, I never took Maggie back to their place but have big trouble when it comes to the manicure part of her weekly spa treatment.
I tried the PetiCure dremmel thingy and she is calmer with it but she also has such hard toe nails that we almost have no results to show for after a good 20 minutes of dremmling. Also the walking on concrete side walks does nothing for her toe nails, just the concrete gets worn out...
If you have any advice for me please let me know b/c I'm really desperate and so want it to be a good experience for her as it is for my other four babies...
