We did it! (half of it, at least)

The last time I tried to trim Miner's nails was a year and a half ago. You can't see the quick, because like everything else on him, his nails are black. I cut one too close and he bled for a day and a half. So, David took over those responsibilites.

Well, his nails are getting long. I decided that I would use the tactic that I use when I don't feel like going to Jazzercise (tell myself I only have to do the cardio and then wind up staying for the whole thing) on this. I'll just start with one paw. If it's a disaster, I can stop. Well this morning I was feeling pretty confident, so I gave it a shot. I got both his right paws done! I just trimmed a tiny amount, but looking back to vaccuming up the clippings when David did it, I don't think he was taking any bigger chunks.

Yay, me!! Plan is to try the other half tonight or tomorrow.
