“… so I want just a light trim off the tips but I’m going to need an overall filing and smoothing, and then I definitely need some exfoliation on the soles, with the pumice stone or maybe a belt sander. Oh, and I hope you brought enough nail polish!”

Looks like he’s waiting for a nice foot massage.
I think a warm blossom pink would be lovely on those talons.
A privacy tail might also be in order. 😋
I see a rosebud!
And I thought my feet were in bad shape….
Yeah, me too.
No wonder Wolverine’s Talons are worn by an Australian actor!
I would’t want to be the one to trim those claws. I have a hard enough time doing my bunnehs’ nails. It’s almost like performing an operation.
I could never trim any of my dogs’ nails – I made one nail bleed one time and that was it. After that, I paid either the vet or Petco/Petsmart to do the trimming. I’m such a wimp.
No, you’re not. You’re smart! I used to clip my cats’ nails, but I’d had them from tiny kittenhood and they were used to me handling them. There was no way I was going to tackle it with a seven-year-old traumatized rescued dog (Ricky); nor, indeed, do I intend to do it with Bibi, who is younger and generally much calmer. There’s a good reason for hiring professionals. They’ve had the training. I haven’t.
And while we’re at it, pass that belt sander over here when you’re done … somebody’s heels are beyond pumice, I fear.
I used to take Pablo to Petco; they charged 10 bucks. I would just hold him upright and they would clip his nails. When I held him that way he stayed still until I let him go. When I tried to do it myself I had to try to hold him in my lap and he was too squirmy.
Then he would get an assortment of treats from the treat bar for being a good boy.
thumb nubs!
Aren’t they just too cute? Yay, wombat thumb nubs!
“Maybe a belt sander” caused dangerous laughter. Well done, NTMTOM. Lulled us to sleep like it would all be an actual salon order, then the surprise.
A NTMTOM ploy, well-employed. And a snortlaff when you encounter it.
