Default Nail trimming help at Blenheim on Sun??

Do any of you fancy helping me trying to trim my Campbell girls' nails if I bring them to Blenheim on Sun??

Last time I used the vet to for nail trimming but after seeing Chirs' demo at Burgley, I thought I'd try myself this morning. Not a good idea. Lily is very good at making herself into a ball with disappearing feet and when I tried to hang on to a leg, she bared her teeth at me (she didn't bite though..they are good little girls). So I need help!

If some of you experts can help me, I'll pop the little sweeties in a travel carrier and bring them with me on Sun.

They can be little bug**rs when they want to be . Take them with you and have a word with either Chris or Jean Tye and I'm sure they will help you out. Unfortunately we will only be there on Sat as we are running a display in Romsey on the Sun and Mon otherwise I would have a go for you.

I hate doing campbell nails, yet *everyone* brings their campbells or hybrids for their nails to be done.

The only way we could do the last one was to let it bite me and while it was hanging on, trim a few nails quickly and then let it bite kat an i trimmed the other nails. It was painful and not worth it LOL sedate the darn things!

If its only speed, if you can hold them in your fist with one leg poking out between your fingers then it isnt too difficult to do.

I usually resort to doing just one nail a night - once they realise what you are doing you haven't a hope!!
