Awww! That face is adorable! I was wondering if that thing really worked- it seems like it just takes too long.

I figured as much. The commercial shows these serene pets just hanging out like Made the Manicurist is dipping their paws in Palmolive.

But I assume the thing at least makes a noise, and dogs tend not to like noisy things that make contact with their bodies, right?

She seems to go into a Zen place, obviously thinking, "Those bastards, those bastards...as soon as this is over, I am SO peeing on the sofa."

But the thing works better than the clipper.

I can't quite read the lettering on your shirt. Does it say "McCain"?

Question for you, PJ:
How noisy is the thing? I've been intrigued (my dog runs at the mere sight of clippers) but hesitate to purchase. Battery operated? Whiny hum? Highly recommended (or not)? Thanks-

It's not that noisy but it's not the noise that bothers her. It's the loss of control.

It has a built-in rechargeable battery. All in all, I recommend it.

Aww! She is really cute. :)

What I find funny about the commercials for that product is that they use a beagle for the nail clipper demonstration. I had a beagle mix and she was terrified of getting her nails trimmed. My mom had to bribe her with little bits of american cheese to get it done.

This is why pet-groomers exist.

That way THEY get to be the evil torturers, and YOU get to be the knight in shining armor that rescues them from such indignation and torment.

No, you are the devil who delivers them to the torturers (or, in some cases, abandons them at the kennel for the weekend).

Well then, let me sharpen my horns and polish my tail.

All I can tell you is that the professionals we deliver our little girl to do one hell of a job - certainly better than her untrained fathers can.

And she's not suffered a minute because of it - except for the trauma that seems to be inherrent in these situations where we superimpose our needs on their existence.

And I MUCH prefer for her to feel the trauma exists outside of her own safe haven of 'home'.

But I'm still a 'devil', that I can't deny.

Eh. Miss Holly's got a pretty good life. She doesn't mind a little grooming.

Reminds her of the attention she got during her days as a failed showgirl.

I bought one of these (actually I got Pedi-Paws, I think it's by the makers of the Ped Egg) at CVS today, and after an initial wig out, Kringo actually chilled the hell out and let me do it in (relative) peace. Thanks, Pedi-Paws!
