Also Puppy had their third nail trim tonight. Took all of 5 minutes. They just laid down and went to town on a chew while I took the clippers to each nail. They were a little uneasy about the table at first (table = ears, and ears = torture 😅), but they were fine once I pulled out the dental chew. Not sure what they put in those but it's like crack to them. Anyway, they didn't even protest me manipulating their paws (the rear nails were pretty short so I couldn't get to them without pushing on the pads to get them through the hair), so I'm pretty thrilled! Not a huge surprise considering puppy sat on the counter with a dental chew and didn't even miss a beat when they got their third round of vaccines last week 😅 food makes everything better...

#well work more on the table #we worked a bit with stairs today #puppy is great at going up and down the open stairs we go up and down every day #(at the park and outside my apartment)#but they werent so sure about wooden stairs and about the super tall stairs on the floors above us #we got there #but it was a process #and they haaaate enclosed staircases which is understandable they havent experienced any #the table thing is a priority though #i would like to start looking at maybe getting a townhome in the future but table > stairs right now lol #it 100% is because puppy has had their ears done on the table at their breeders house and haaates it #which i do understand because its not exactly pleasant #so well work on that #grooming tables really are a godsend #well this one i bought (fb marketplace special) is wayyy too heavy for shows so ill have to keep looking for another #and its quite tall so when puppy is standing its less useful #but great for nail trims and im hoping will be great for brushing and paw cleaning #im around puppy so much that i dont really see a difference in their si #*size but allegedly they are huge now according to my friends who see them once a week #lol #they are probably too big to be a sheltie now. sad!
