If you know anything about Chris, you know that he likes to do projects, maintenance, and work at our place himself. He very rarely will hire somebody to do a job. I am very blessed because he is extremely talented patient and intelligent and can do almost anything he sets his mind to . Unfortunately, he does need a helper when it comes to trimming the livestock guardian dogs nails. I would be THAT helper. Unfortunately, I am way too intimidated to be of service with this task. Gus knows at 180 pounds he can pull away from me so easily. There is no way I can hold him still. With him being so nervous that then in turn makes me very nervous. Fiona is not a fan of nail trimming either. Her size isn’t the problem with me, but her demeanor can be intimidating for me. Clearly I am NOT the Alpha in this house! Since they are always outside in the pasture, there really is no hard surface for them to wear their nails down on their own. His went to the vet a few months back and was great when they cut his nails. This time we decided to just take Fiona along, too. They were both great and no problem! Here is our ride back home. These two only go for a car ride to go to the vet’s office and they love it! Well- Gus probably likes it the most because no one, including Fiona, loves him panting all over us!
