I'm just too chicken to cut Ceci's nails. She is SO tiny and I worry I'll do something to hurt her. I'm the worrier I guess.

Dolly has the nails where the pink is all the way to the nails when they are long and Desi has the dark nails. With either one of them, I run a huge risk of cutting the quick; so I take them to the groomer whose owner lives in my community. They cut them very good. I took them a few days ago on the way home from the vet. I heard no screeches but could see on Dollys that there were two where they had to stop the bleeding from the quick. They told me that when the air is exposed to the quick, then the quick will start going closer to the paw. I do see a change in Dollys nails but this is over a two year period they are still long by many peoples standards. I did read in an article about the original Chihuahuas that their nails are significantly longer than most dogs. I dont worry so much about something being wrong, and just take them to get their nails trimmed once a month. On the 20th of each month I give them their Interceptor and take them for their nail trim it may not always be on the 20th exactly, but they do get their nails done once a month it is $5 each, but I could never do them myself however I have never tried it recently and they may be used to it being done but I think they would pick up my anxiety over being afraid to cut them back too far.

This morning I smeared peanut butter on a plate and he let me cut a few nails without screaming like a little girlie-man because he was so distracted by licking the peanut butter.
