For some reason Cocoa HATES to have her nails trimmed... up until today I couldn't understand it. In the past there wasn't really a reason for it to bother her other than she doesn't like her paws held. The vet tried to show me a "hold" to put her in and he couldn't even get her down! "Boy, she really doesn't like that does she?" Well, today she finally had a point. Tony and I had her in a "hold" and she was still pulling and arguing with us. I was the clipper and I accidentally got her nail to short. Ouch! She yelped and it started bleeding...and it wouldn't stop! I felt so bad! I tried to hold pressure, but she couldn't quite understand the point of that. We sent her outside into the snow as a way to apply ice... and it kept on bleeding....all over... Now imagine this, I even put some ointment on a band-aid, practically crawled into her kennel with her and wrapped it around her little hairy toe and stubby nail. Nate predicted that it would stay on for 3 seconds. He was basically right... and then it pulled some hair when it came off too. Oh my. She stayed in her kennel until it finally stopped. Quinn was all upset. Tony made some crack about Cocoa getting ready to pass out from lack of blood so Quinn was working on some "orientation" questions with her... "Do you know your name? Can you tell me what it is?" And then to us, "I think she's getting light-headed."
That hidden camera that Addi wants me to have... yep, this clip would have been a good one.
PS... Madison was thankfully at soccer practice. She would have been a MESS!

Oh that Quinn...cracks me up!!
I trimmed McGraw's nails too short the first time I tried, it didn't bleed, but he yelped! Good thing our animals love us unconditionally! ;)
