..trying to cut nails!
Impossible I tell you! Charlee isn't too bad, she puts up a fight being picked up but as she is small it is easy. Noah is a little bigger and a lot stronger, picking him up is horrible. Little scratched my arms to pieces. I ended up wrapping him up in a towel as best as I could before I picked him up. But he knew it was coming before I even got there. I was holding him correctly, he just HATES being picked up. Once I have him held securely, someone else cuts his nails and its ok.
Then I put him down, he stomps his foot and runs off, flicking his back feet out behind him. Then he spends 15 minutes grooming himself and refuses to come out - even for a treat! Totally ignores me :roll:
Is there an easier way to do it? All this pain is why I very rarely brush them.
