Re: How's Your Grooming?

I’d rather put a Thunder jacket on a dog that’s stressed out from a storm. Or better yet Hold them. 🥰

We had a dog almost fall down the stairs on that medication. They get too loopy and still can react to what’s stressing them and they have no control over their bodies when the medication takes effect.

I have trimmed my dogs nails for years, trim their hair, not great at trimming hair ,but i do try.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Good recounting, @Desert Lily !

By time Judah (Yorkie) gets to us to stay, he's a disaster! They never bother! He'll be here in March, so I know what we'll be facing.

First, it's trimming nails. DH's job. With this little contraption that buzzes. Judah doesn't that at all, so he wiggles and squiggles to beat the band. DH is over there somehow managing, but with all manner of verbal expressions!

When that's done, Judah races to the cabinet for a treat, and we oblige.

Then I take over with my good hair scizzors. DH holds him down, and even though I've done this many times before, I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Somehow he ends up looking much, much better! DH and I switch places, and he trims his private area.

Then into the drink for a bath w/ Yorkie shampoo. DH's "expertise", but I have to be there holding Judah's paw (so to speak). After the kitchen floor and Judah get a good thorough soaking and cleaning, Judah again races to the cabinet! How do we say no?

But at least we have a sweet smelling dog for the week, and he really is the best dog after all that hoopla!
