All right, our neurotic beagle/black lab is so stressed out that he now will need TRANQUILIZERS to get his nails trimmed! We took him to the vet to pick up heart worm and flea and tick medicine and to get a nail trim, and he went ballistic. Luckily he runs around so much that he keeps most of his nails ground down himself, but the stupid dew claws just grow and grow. Of course no dog enjoys getting their nails trimmed, but he acted like he was getting murdered! You should have heard the noises he was making! 😂 We didn’t even have a vet appointment, but the vet came out to talk to us after all of the noise! I have no no idea what his first 10 months were like since he’s a rescue, but WOW this dog can be overly dramatic! He’s such a sweetheart too. He lets me sleep when I need to even though he’s technically still a puppy and only has to go in his crate if we all leave the house. He’s such a loving, happy sweetie UNLESS he’s getting his nails trimmed. The vet described him as “exuberant” the first time he met him! Just look at that sweet, innocent face! 😁

Awww!! Poor baby!! If you ONLY KNEW what it was like!!! (LOL!) Our female Jack Russell, hubby's dog that's in her 15th year, has always been like this!!! I used to trim all my dogs nails (and clean their teeth!!) any time it was needed, until we started getting into the small dogs. I'm afraid I'll break their leg or something!! Those bones are all so very tiny!!! So, I gave in and both our Female Jack Russell and the Chihuahua both go in to get their nails trimmed. I'm still holding out hope for Parker - that I can get him trained to let me take care of both his nails and teeth cleaning, but it's too early to tell if I'm going to be able to do this with any regularity. I did, however, manage to get his front nails trimmed last week!! Back feet were simply a no-go for him!!! Oh, those babies that sleep with us any time we need to sleep!! What a special gift to give to us!!!
