[Dailydrool] Abraham's Nails

[GalinkinSK at aol.com]

First of all, Happy Happy Howlidays to all.  Second of all Abraham  just 
finished 21 weeks of his chemo protocol and remains in  remission....YAHOO!!! 
keeping 16 paws crossed in this house he continues to do  well.  Speaking of 
paws Abraham's nails can be cut every two weeks...no  lie.  They grow 
sooooooooo quickly but the problem is he will not allow me  to cut them.  
Sometimes when he is sound a sleep I can maybe cut one or two  till he wakes and 
reacts.  During one of our Chemo visits I pointed out to  the Vet Tech that 
maybe possibly they could cut his nails and she replied, "no  problem".    Now 
I don't know how many of you live in New Jersey  or know what the Chemo 
Protocol costs in our great state but it is thousands of  dollars....less than 
10 more than 5...don't you know that on that particular  visit they had the 
gall and I mean gall to charge me $19.00 to cut his  nails.  It's just the 
little things that put me over the edge.  Weeks  later my favorite Vet Tech 
brought Abe or he brought her out to me  and she  said he fell fast asleep 
during his treatment so they took advantage and the  opportunity to cut his 
nails without me asking.  I was so pleased.  I  guess because I asked they had 
to charge ,....yeah right!!!  In the past I  have taken Abe to Petsmart to 
have his nails cut and dremeled...I think they  charge $10 or $11.  When I 
bring him in , I leave the grooming area as he  reacts more when I am in 
sight...I do my shopping and they page me when he is  done.  One of the groomers 
found it much easier to leave his foot flat on  the table instead of 
holding it.  She said he was much better doing it that  way.  
 
Shelley  and Abraham Ga-linkin, etc.
