Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.

[Fireball]

So, today went swell.  The new woman came to trim the dogs' nails.  She showed up without the company van and with one tool - a Dremel.

As it turns out the Dremel was almost out of charge and I didn't have a cord that would fit it.  So even though I moved the grooming table into the house and was all prepped for her, one dog managed to get his nails sorta, kinda trimmed.  

I am glad I didn't medicate the nutty one or the neurotic one as I try to use the meds sparingly.

I ordered my own Dremel and will figure it the fuck out if I have to do one paw at a time.

Cripes.

We're too afraid of hurting the dogs when they spaz out for stuff like nail trimming. We took them to the groomer and had that done. Groomers are far better at getting that done than we ever were. We have a new dog- a deer Chihuahua. We're pretty sure she was abused, beyond the simple fact of having been dropped at the shelter, pregnant, inside a bag with five other dogs. She had 4 puppies shortly after the attendants found her. We've had her two months and she is getting better at coming to me and licking the back of my hand...and then running away. She used to run in a panic if she had to get by any of the guys here when we were walking around. The male "humans" from her experience must have been pretty bad.  We don't want to take her to a groomer yet, we feel that she's been traumatized enough already.
