[Dailydrool] nail trimmin'

[June Scheunemann & Mike Bernsdorf]

I have always trimmed my dogs own nails .....that is till Leroy came along.
YOu can touch his toes any time...unless you have a nipper in hand.  He
seems to know when you do no matter how well you hide it.  I usually manage
to get one TOE done before he starts carrying on.  My Mom was here one day
and just started shoving treats at him while I nipped.    IT WORKED !!!  I
got all 4 feet done and Leroy got alot of treats.  Nala doesn't care about
nail trimmin' and Gus...well, he will tolerate.  All 3 of these pups are
wonderful fun loving and not a mean bone in their body.  I'm guessing since
bassets tend to have really thick and hard nails that some are just more
sensitive to it.  I can't believe the groomer called the vet.....cuz' when i
did ask just once for the vet to trim Leroy's nails he just started
laughing.  Told me bassets are notorious for not liking their nails clipped.

OK I missed out on the listerine thing.  Is that just for getting the smell
out of cement???  I heard it works for mosquitoes...?  Does it or is this
just for getting the smell out????  Does it work on cat pee????
