As you can see below Soos is due for a nail trim. We've known this for a bit and we've been working on desensitization of the nail trim experience. We do this by having the nail clippers around him and he gets a treat on them, around them so that he sees they aren't scary. Also when we are relaxing we will touch, rub and massage his feet in hopes of him getting use to the handling of his feet. Soos has been doing great with all of this.
So we started trimming and he did super! We didn't want to push our luck so, after doing his front feet we stopped. We'll do the back feet in the next day or so.
Here's a FANTASTIC video by Dr. Karen Becker on how to do a nail trim!
And here's an article that shows why keeping nails trimmed is so important.

Soos was a super star and for being so great, he was rewarded with a bully stick!
