I sometimes clip the dog’s front nails at home. However, when they need their back toes clipped I take them to Sara’s.
The reason? Sampson’s quick is very close on his back toes and I’ve made him bleed a couple of times.
A few weeks ago we took the dogs to The Mellow Mutt, so Sara could clip their nails. Sampson and Delilah haven’t seen Sara in a while and were so excited when she came outside.
Oh Auntie Sara, I’ve missed you so!
There was the obligatory sniffing of pee-mail with Sampson running like a lunatic back and forth towards Sara across the parking lot.
Delilah was on leash so Sara started with her nails first.
While she was clipping Delilah, Sampson ran to the door of the shop, pushed it open and ran inside. You could hear him inside rooing with joy.
I looked at Hubby with my mouth open like a tree frog and said, “He just went inside.”
The three of us burst out laughing and Hubby had to go get Sampson and escort him out.
Yo’ Sampson, when did you learn to open doors? I could use some help at home.
Eventually he settled down enough for Sara to clip his nails.
But not before he went into the shop a couple more times.
Silly puppy, who needs thumbs to open doors?
