| How Many Of You "Pluck" or Do You "Cluck" LOL ...How many of you "pluck" your furbabys hair from the ears or do you "cluck" like a chicken and have the vet or groomer do it for you....I am the big chicken when it comes to this and I have my groomer do it for me. It's said this does not hurt them ...but I just cant make myself do it!

| I am one of those "pluckers". I had the vet do it for me one time and saw how easy it was to do . (and charged me $7.00) I started doing it my self after they told me that they do not have nerve endings there to actually hurt them.

| I do it myself. Sophie doesn't seem to mind as long as I give it a little rub or let her scratch it a little after each pluck. It seems to tickle. It takes a little time but it's not a bad job. |

| Man, I am chicken too! I usually cut all of my dogs nails at home here with the exception of Teddy. He moved once and I cut the nail too short and I made him bleed so from that point on whether it be hair, nails or whatever I leave it to the professionals.

| I'd love to be a plucker but I'm to much of a clucker! Maybe one of these days I'll get the nerve up!

| I was a clucker until I finally decided to give it a try. She didnt scream but did scratched it a bit after plucking. Good think that she doesnt have a lot so is pretty fast. I dont like to torture her. |

| What a relief to hear that I am not the only "clucker " when it comes to this!
