Chet here - I know this is Wordless Wednesday, but thought you needed a bit more info about this scene to fully appreciate my predicament. It seems the Roommate is tired being scratched by a crocodile (she calls me that sometimes) so I get short leashed to the deck railing and outfitted with that ridiculous snout holster. She then sidles up to me with the treat bag, those nipper things and fake sweetey words intending to clip my toenails. Well it was nip (get it?) and tuck for a bit, but as you can see--I won. The Roommate left the scene muttering about me winning the battle but not the war. What the heck does that mean?

He does look rather smug, doesn't he? You will have to be very sneaky to get near him with them again...great entry today! (I have edited my post to explain that photo - hubby spotted it in a yard while we were traveling and turned around so I could get a photo of it.)
Thanks for linking up today!
i have one that's easy as can be, two that require a bit more convincing, and one even the vet, his asst. and with me helping cannot touch. *sigh*
good luck w/ chet!
TexWisGirl-Chet's cousin Hazel the Spaniel has urged him to lie like a sack of concrete during the pedicure and wait for the treats for doin' nuthin'. He's not buying it. :-)
Our two big dogs are not fond of snipping either but I exert my Alpha-ness and they grudgingly submit. It's not easy though.
Looks like he's panting after a workout -- and not looking you in the eye ;)
A hard battle for a wordless day.
LOL...better luck next time....good luck!!!
Cute narration by Chet.
haha! Been there, done that! It's so nice when they cooperate and such a hassle when they don't!
You pegged it perfectly. From both sides of the clippers!
Hi Faye! I am going to try to comment again...
Thanks for stopping by my blog, appreciate it. The last time I attempted to cut my dog's nails I clipped them too short and he bled all over the front porch before I could get the bleeding stopped. NEVER again.
I don't know whether to say that I feel sorry for Mama or Puppy!!!!!! ha ha .... BUT--the clipping needs to be done!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Chet, I wouldn't get too smug if I were you.
That is quite the challenge for most dog owners. Chet will eventually get used to it. Stand your ground and don't give in!
LOL... very cute...glad you won!!
HA! Well, you might as well give in because your roommate is NOT going to give up. :)) (Best of luck, Faye!)
I used to know a woman who put PB on the cupboard door, and clipped nails while the dog licked the PB.
