[Kizzys Mom]

I was the same way by Kizzy and I always let the vet do it. But now she doesnt have to go for a year except the spaying in August. So I bought the puppy nail clippers just like my vet uses and some gel that is suppose to stop the bleeding in case I should cut too close. I swore I would never try it but I braved up and did it a couple weeks ago and she actually did pretty good. and hey, I didnt even cut any too short. But I only clipped the very tips off. She yelped with almost every snip and scared me to death with the first one but after I saw I didnt hurt her and figured she was just scared, I had no problems with the rest and I just talked to her the whole time real sweet about what a good girl she was and getting a cheerio when we finished and she acted like she kinda understood. But she was use to getting them cut everytime she got her shots so maybe that helped. Anyway, dont know how she will do next time, but I was proud of her and myself after I did it. I just held her with my left arm across her back, under her stomach and held her paw in my left hand and did it. And of course afterwards she got several cheerios and praises for being a good girl.
