2 down, 6 to go

Yesterday I ventured out of the house to hit Boscov's "As seen on TV" selection. I've been seeing the commercials for the Pedipaws and wondered if it really worked. Pedipaws it a pet nail trimmer that works similar to a Dremel tool to sand the nail instead of squeezing and clipping it. I had asked a coworker if she had any experience with it and she said it worked very well, better than traditional clippers anyhow. Our guys HATE.... HATE... HATE... getting their nails done. Did I mention they HATE it?! Well, they do. Benson only needs to hear you make a mere mention of 'toenails' and he is headed to another room, one far away from the person that said the bad words. Anyhow, my trip paid off. Boscov's had them. So I saved that dreaded "S&H" charge and brought one home. After putting the batteries in it, Benson and I went to school to get tired out - my thinking being a tired dog might be more tolerant. Only problem was it tired me out too, and it was hotter than usual so I was too tired and hot to fight him over his toenails when we got home, but I digress... When we finally got to messing with the thing, I just turned it on around each of them to get their reaction. Duncan just wants to chew on it. (Surprised?) Benson just sniffs it unless you get it near his toes. HA. (But he doesn't seem to mind the nice massage it gives him it you rub it on him as it vibrates!) This morning we actually tried doing toenails on each of them. It wasn't a bad experience at all once we tag team them. Daddy snuggles/holds them while mommy does the nails. Later on we'll try another paw on each of them, one seemed to be as much as either would humor us with. After the first nail, they were sort of "ok, this ain't bad", but didn't really offer the next paw. Better than nothing.
