So tonight we all got brushed and had our nails done. Well, mostly. The girls always act like it's the end of the world. Oh, the crying! The squealing! The biting! Mom can never get all their nails done. Caroline managed to get about two cut and Olivia maybe three.
Eddie is pretty good, and I've gotten so much better. Mom says I get a gold star! I figure, it may not be the best fun I could be having, but why fight it? And I'm certainly not going to act like a crybaby about it. Half a minute and I'm done!
It really is like Mom says. It goes much much faster when there's no struggling.
Isis and I at least agree on this one thing: No nail cutting for us! We hate it. I hate it because I just don't like letting my human pet have that kind of control over me, and Isis hates it because...well, she's Isis.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am glad I don't have front claws.......
ReplyDeletewe love getting our claws cut - know why? 'acause Mommy gives us a kissie after each claw we let her cut wifout a fight. I got 18 kissies last time. Miles is up to about 7 kissies. - Sammy
ReplyDeleteyeah my Mom has been sayin' for days that she has to do my nail, but i won't let her 'cause i hate it. but poor Mom, when i do the Jeremy dance on her at night, she's gettin' scratchies and she says i HAVE to let her cut them or she won't let me sleep with her.....
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky that our nails are never cut. The mom says that its not worth the fight. Besides, whenever we get out we need to be able to defend ourselves.
ReplyDeleteNo one over here likes to get their nails cut, but mom and dad just tell us that we have to...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Our Mother gave up on our claws. I put the bite on her at one claw. Scrappy acts like this is a captured Puma and Tucker is a crybaby.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. I do not have front claws and mama never bothers with the back ones, cause they are my only defense (other than toothies). She thinks about it when I take off from her lap, though. She has scars!
ReplyDeleteI say I hate my mani/pedis, but I secretly adore them!
ReplyDeleteIf only Mom could figure out how to keep my claws out long enough for nailpolish to dry...red polish would look somethin' fierce on me!
I will always shriek and complain....I really don't mind it, but it is the principle of the thing.....Mittens growls, but then she growls about most everything, unless it has to do with food or napping.

Try trimming 6 guinea pigs nails. Mom does that strugggle all the time. Thats another one where she has to be happy if she can clip 2or 3 claws at a time, cause those guys Bite! She trims Scouts nails when he is asleep.
ReplyDeleteI like it when the Mom grooms me. The nail clipping I can live without since I can use the sharp claws against the Brats. The Doofi, though, really really cannot sit still through either. They fight and complain and whine. You'd think they would've learned to just sit there and take it. She's still going to do it and it goes so much quicker that way.
ReplyDeleteIt's no so bad sometime to get our nails done. Angie don't like it too much but I knows I gets treats after so I puts up wif it. Ask your mom for lots of treats and then it's not so bad.
ReplyDeleteWe can't clip Magoo's claws unless one of brushes him with his Zoom Groom. Smudge needs to be held by me while the Wife does the clipping. Bella will lay on her back and will let the wife clip her claws with only the occassional peep. Dolce is halfway between Bella and Smudge.
