why don't you ask him to trim Philby's nails?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do it myself, but it took me many many sessions
to let my basset Chica get used to it. She didn't turn agressive, but

still, tried to hide her paws, make a lot of comedy (and
noise :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I read somewhere that the nails of a dog

therefore much more sensitive.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>Never
