Groom and Doom

Nail clipping is right up there with haircuts on Trey Davey’s least favorite list. He hates it. Perhaps he believes these activities invade his personal space or cramp his grooming preferences. Who knows, but he has consistently resisted these actions from the beginning. Every grooming experience is a wresting match, and this little boy is strong. Clipping nails is a delicate procedure under the best conditions.  Trying to trim his tiny little toenails on one pumping foot while his other is being pushed into my kidney is nearly an impossible task. The process of trimming Benji’s toe and finger nails takes about five minutes, while Davey’s grooming may take three times longer due to his squirming and screaming protests. I hope he grows out of it, but if you ever see Davey with shoulder length hair and nails, you’ll know he got too big for me to handle.
