[Elmer-n-Button]

Well, as you can see, today was the day we took Elmer and Button to the vet for their shots and while we were there, we got their nails cut. Elmer is always scared to death (ever since another vet hit the quick last year) and does his best to squirm away, whines, makes dramatic faces, etc. Today he made out very well, but he did strike a dramatic pose as you can see below. He never flinched during his shot, but it took the vet tech and the vet to get the nails done. The vet tech is the son of another vet, who is also a good friend of ours. Thought you would enjoy seeing Mr. Scrunchy Face in action. Button was an angel the whole time.
P. S. There was no blood and he didn't hit the quick at all.

Well, the tribe says this pic shows that nail clipping is BASSET ABUSE!!! Just look at that poor face!

They can be such drama queens!

Hope Elmer got a special treat for all the torment he went through

Good for Elmer and Button. Going to the Vet is nearly always traumatic. Hope they both got lots of treats.

Oh, that looks all too familiar. It takes 3 people to do Copper's nails! I won't even try myself anymore. Now my mini-doxie is a completely different story. She lays on her back on the couch while I do her nails. I think it's the princess in her, though!

Elmer doesn't really enjoy the treatment! :lol: :lol:

Gee!! He doesn't look stessed out at all :lol: poor guy! I'm sure he enjoyed his Frosty Paws. Great picture!! Thankfully Bogie will lay on his back and let us trim his nails.

LOL that is a great pic! poor elmer!

Nail clipping is such a chore! today i cut Lily's nails successfully and she made a lot less fuss about it then usual- a positive experience ( for the most part) .... there is hope for her yet!

Poor baby. He is so cute!

 

[Rocket]

Poor baby, but that is such a great picture!

Oh the horror! Did they at least use clear polish on his toes?

At Ruby's vet, the techs sit on the floor and Ruby gets to be in one of their laps...one holds and one cuts. Ruby hates it but the tail is wagging in the face the whole time.

And she gets massive treats when we get home.
