So this morning hubby and I decided it was time to trim Bundii's nails. This is the first time that I have had to trim nails. Bundii usually keeps them trim but of late they were starting to get caught in things.
Well Bundii is already very cautious of my hands, so I got the trimming job while hubby got the comforting/holding job.
Once I got into a rhythm, it was easy to do. However the first one had me in tears, hubby laughing at me and Bundii thinking we're both nuts.
I got the nail clipper in the right position, clipped and then Bundii decided she was going to squawk. I seriously thought I had chopped her toe off. Clearly, I had just moved the toe into the wrong position, but being the first time, I was nervous of trimming too far. It was like instant tears for me. Hubby thinks I am nuts. Although he may not be too far off.
Anyways, I can now safely say that Bundii's nails are trimmed and there was no long lasting side effects on her. Me on the other hand, I might need stiff drink to recover.
