Face squished in to my stomach and one leg in between her back legs to prevent the kicky-punchies. So glad I'm not the only one.<br /><br />Sigh. I can hear the clickety clack.

I do many of the steps in about the same way you do but have never learned how to line comb and i appreciate the tips. Also I loved to see the properly groomed corgi foot.. i do clip the toe pad hairs as well and find that my two nearly fall asleep during the foot portion of their grooming session... they dont love the dremmel but they dont hate it as much as clippers. <br /><br />Thanks for doing this series.<br /><br />EmilieDillydoodlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-53670902940113384462009-06-24T10:31:03.328-04:002009-06-24T10:31:03.328-04:00Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!

I too am one of those owners who dread cutting their corgis' nails, but we soon discovered that he grinds his nails down as we walk him on paved roads every day. But I agree that it's one of those skills that we should have learned, just in case ;)Ivy@PaperElixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260131102211123754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-7228475696542795562009-06-22T16:15:47.401-04:002009-06-22T16:15:47.401-04:00I Corgi lovers around the world have enjoyed your ...I Corgi lovers around the world have enjoyed your series on caring for the breed. This nail thing is a real issue for my daughter's dog--half Boston Terrier and half Chichuachua. We're all afraid of clipping them--but I have gotten her pinned down and gone after them a time or two....when she starts making that "clicking" sound you described. I didn't know about the Dremel--we just have the old standard clippers. In fact, I have her for the day---I think I should at least clip ONE, don't you? Maybe by the time she leaves, I'll have clipped every stinking one of her little nails!! I know she'll thank YOU for the nudge!<br /><br />Hope you're having a happy summer.

Time to trim the cotton candy. I used some of your combing techniques on our neighbor's cat. We are watching him all week and he had some patches on his back that hadn't shed and were matted down. I picked and teased them out gently and he feels much better now!Jenna Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787074975348206652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-44726538771522998982009-06-22T11:20:44.602-04:002009-06-22T11:20:44.602-04:00I didn't realize the more the nails are trimme...I didn't realize the more the nails are trimmed, the quick recedes. Another good reason to keep your pup's nails trimmed, he can accidentally scratch you. This is an unusual incident, our "shorky" Bernie was playing with Rocky(our corgi) and actually scratched the cornea of Rocky's eye. I think of Rocky wasn't blind, he could of closed his eye in time. Bernie's nails are now trimmed.Life with Fuzzy Oneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943041207501062682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17726627.post-17425545936580825772009-06-21T08:18:15.771-04:002009-06-21T08:18:15.771-04:00This really IS a helpful series you've been do...This really IS a helpful series you've been doing, and believe me, all the corgi mamas and papas are appreciating it!
