Must celebrate small victory: TOENAILS! Hip Hip HOORAY!! I can't believe it but Wosie let me cut ALL her nails in one sitting today! :angel2dl: She was pretty mellow this afternoon, so I thought I would go for it. I flipped her onto her back on my lap with her back feet touching my tummy, and I did each nail quickly on one paw, one at a time, telling her she was a good girl and asking her to wait. I had to stop her from struggling after each nail, but kept speaking low and quietly, telling her how good she was, and she would calm enough for me to clip the next nail. When I got one paw done, I clicked the clicker and gave her a treat and lots of petting, still keeping her on her back on my lap. She calmed again, so I moved to the next foot. By the time I got to the last foot, she was almost asleep!! I can't believe it, really I can't!! The last time I tried to cut her nails was a month ago, just before she broke her leg, and you would have thought I was trying to kill her, lol! :tongue: I am soooooo excited, and my girl no longer sounds like she is tap dancing when she walks across the floor!! :happyboun |
I don't believe it, either! That is one major accomplishment. I know! You are so lucky! She really deserves extra hugs, ya know! :D |
Karen, she did get some for sure! 1 Attachment(s) You know, I think part of it is because she has been tied to me literally since she broke her leg. Keeping her motionless has meant I needed to personally keep her close, and I think because of this she trusts me more! I really enjoyed cutting her nails, and if someone had asked me a month ago if I thought I would ever say that, I would have said HA! I sure hope it was not a fluke, lol! :D Here's a pic of her front pack. She's in this a couple hours a day usually. |
I doubt if it was a fluke. They will either let you do it or they won't. I'll bet you're right about her trust. They have to have complete trust that you won't hurt them. So, don't get in the quick or you're toast! :D |
LOL, you got that right! I am going to try really hard not to do that!! Karen, thanks again for always being such a great support and help to me! :D |
What a cute carrier! :thumbup: |
