#ugh the amount of trust this dog has in me absolutely breaks my heart#I had to shave the area under his chin some more before starting the steroid cream#since the vet wasn't able to do a proper job of it#so i put Røst on his placemat where we usually do our wound care stuff#i flicked the clippers on and he immediately start trembling#like SO BAD#which he's never done before#so it's pretty obvious yesterday really left a mark on him#despite literally shaking with fear though he let me touch the clippers to him over and over again until the area was clear#he jerked away from it within a handful of seconds every time#but he took treats and listened when i told him to wait#and just let me come back with the clippers to get the job done#by the end he'd stopped shaking and was back to his happy self as soon as i switched the clippers off#I love him so much#this must have been SO hard for him#he's so incredibly sensitive and he holds onto negative associations really hard#so the fact that i was allowed to continue to clip him without any kind of retraint is purely down to his trust in me#and his need to do a good job for me#i do not deserve this dog
