We hate getting our toenails clipped. A lot. We mean REALLY hate it. A LOT. We squirm. We squeal. We scream. And still, Mommy tries to clip our toenails. Sure, we don’t like having long nails. They make it harder to walk, and sometimes they even hurt our pads. But, having our toenails clipped is much worse. Pooka squirms and fights so much that Mommy breaks out in a sweat. Emma bites Mommy's hands. And, Chloe just screams. Mommy says Chloe sounds like what she imagines a hawk would sound like if you were ripping off its wings.
But, Mommy got this new thingy that files our nails instead of clipping them. We really didn’t like it at first. But, then we don’t really like anything new at first. Especially something that makes a funny noise. And, most especially anything that touches our toenails. But, Mommy used it, and it really wasn’t that bad. Well, after we let her actually use it. After we stopped squirming and squealing and screaming. She let us get used to it by tapping our nails. And you know what? It didn't even hurt!
But, that still doesn't mean we like having our nails done. Now, maybe if Mommy painted flowers on our nails like some ladies get...that might make it better. Or butterflies. No wait...cookies. NO WAIT... CHEETOS. Yay, we could have CHEETO FINGERS! Then we'd let Mommy do our nails anytime.
