Okay, I am at a complete loss how to make her quit acting this way. It is not that she is inately scared of scissors. I let her sniff them, I rub on her and lovey talk to her while I do. She sniffs them (I guess...I put them at her nose anyway). She doesn't seem the least bit scared of those scissors...

Until...

I go to cut the hair around her paws while she stands on the table. Then, it is like I am friggin killing her. BEFORE I even cut the hair. As soon as she "feels" the scissors touch one single hair follicle on her leg/foot, she screams Bloody Friggin Murder. I get so frustrated but I can't quit laughing at the same time. Then, it is all I can do to keep her from seriously hurting herself by flailing about while I'm holding scissors. Last night, I just had to let her jump OFF the coffee table (it's no higher than the couch, so she was ok). I didn't want her to jump off though...but I figured that was better than catching her while holding little scissors.

Yes, I know...to take the hurting her part out of the equation, I can use blunt nose scissors.

But why in the heck is she acting like she has nerve endings in her hair on her legs??? I'm at a complete loss. She lets me cut/trim her hair on her ears..no problem. And, she is not thrilled about the clippers, but she doesn't scream when I use them on her butt.

Trim up the hair around her feet so she doesn't end up hurting herself by tripping on it and all HELLLLL breaks loose!! I am telling you - I need it on video. She seriously SCREAMS. LOL

Again - I am so frustrated and really do want to know how I should get her to chill out, but it cracks me up just typing about it. I was crying from laughing last night.
