<div>Last night we had a pack toe clip. I got the teenager to do in in exchange for letting him do something he wanted to do. Maggie fought like demons were attacking her. She usually only whimpers a little. Nic showed the clippers to Ninja and she rolled over and put her paws up. Not one gripe out of my girl. Marley was pretty good. She didn't get snarkey or anything. And then there was Shelby. Shelby HATES to have her nails trimmed. She shook, she pulled, she bit, she rolled, she whined and just generally went nuts. That's my girl. Nic got them done and he earned his treat, shall we say. He is good with them and very patient. Shelby is a fiesty old thing. She knows where the food is and she knows what she does not like. I like opinionated old girls. </div>
<div> </div><div>As I sit reading stuff on the computer I realize that Ninja is just sitting on the floor staring at me with this woebegone look. Maggie is beside me in Ninja's spot. Marley is in the baby bed and there is a CAT on the loveseat taking up the only other decent(in Ninja's mind) place to sleep in here. Ninja is not amused. Picasso is also not about to get up and give Ninja his spot. Ninja is now staring at him and willing him to get down. The only reason she doesn't just jump up there and take the spot is she knows what claws to the nose feel like and doesn't want to feel them again any time soon. Ninja has walked away and is now on the donut under the card table where the cat perch is. Apparently that is not a good place to nap, only a place if there is no place else place. Ninja just let out a big aggravated sigh. I need to quit trying to analyze what my basset is doing. Picasso sure is enjoying his spot on the loveseat right in the middle. He is being a little catty about it. I need to find something else to do. </div>
