Oh, man, if there is one thing that I am never excited to see, it’s the despicable nail trimmers! None of us Scotties like having our toenails trimmed and it’s usually a stressful situation for everyone involved.
As soon as Wen gets the nail trimmers out, all three of us try to leave the room. Sunny and I are easy to catch and we endure our nail trimming under duress, but Molly is the tricky one. She takes one look at those nail trimmers and runs for her life! Typically, Wen has to outsmart the Scotties and lure us into a room with treats and then shut the door so we can’t escape. Then one by one, we suffer through our pedicures, hopefully without too much wrestling.
After we make it through the trimming part, then we get the sharp edges filed with an emery board so we don’t scratch the hardwood floors with our nails any worse than we already have!
When the ordeal is over, with any luck, Wen will give us a treat. I have to say that we are not as scary as several of the MacDuffs who tried to bite with a vengeance as their nails were being trimmed, so in my opinion, we definitely deserve those treats!
