Ok so everyone here know how much Brutus hates to have his nails clipped. He literally freaks out and tries to bite anyone in the vicinity of him. I decided not to take him back to Petco because I felt that the girls there were too young to handle him and it took 4 people to clip him. One to clip and three to lay on him, all the while he is muzzled!! No good. I was afraid one of these times it would stress him out so much and compromise his breathing. So we have a professional place in East Islip I decided to try. Off we went on Saturday morning. I gave my usual disclaimer that Brutus will bite you if you don't muzzle him etc... Well, the man refused to muzzle a bulldog and he said he can handle it. I was a nervous wreck. Well he was right, Brutus did great. He was at ease and did not bite the man. WOO HOO!!! Anyhoo, on the way back to the car, I was so happy my baby wasn't stressed out and assaulted just to have his nails clipped, I was praising him very boisterously and there was a man standing there who thought I was completely nuts. He was laughing at me, I had to say "Sorry, when it comes to my baby, I am completely nuts". He said he had his laugh for the weekend.
