While exasperatedly trying to get the dog to go outside last night, I sat down on the step and decided to just take in the scenery. As I did so, I realized that the fireflies were out in full force, so I let my eyes unfocus and tried to see as much of the backyard as much as possible. Wow, there were just little random twinkles all over. All I could think of is faerie lights; that’s what it made me think of. What a simple beauty nature has when you stop to pay attention. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
In the meantime… my kingdom for some doggie valium! Phoebe has really decided to be a pain again. She’s been fussing about her nails for the past couple of months, so we kinda gave up trying to get them under control. She won’t even deal with grinding since Terry accidentally got the grinding wheel caught in her fur the last time. That was it for her. So, I decided that I was going to start clipping her nails again. And for a few days that seemed to be working. I could get anywhere from 1 to 3 toenails clipped in a day. And then, suddenly and for no apparent reason (I didn’t clip the quick or anything), she’s back to not even letting me touch her nails again. *sigh* I swear, all I need is one really good (but safe) dose of doggy valium a month to knock her out for a while so that I can clip all of her nails! They’re starting to get too long now and some are vaguely starting to curl. Taking her to the vet or a groomer to do it is not an option, since she gets frantic about anyone else working on her nails, as well.<\/p>\n
So, I know that no one really reads my blog, but if someone reads this and knows of a way to handle this, I would greatly appreciate some advice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
