Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sox, the beach pics made me happy - which was good because I just had a massive dose of bad-kitty-mama guilt.
I was clipping Harvey's claws with a new scissors-handle-type clippers, and it hurt him until he screamed. I hate those clippers now, but they were supposed to be better than the crappy 99 cent human nail clippers that I have used on him for 10 years. With the crappy old clippers, he would often purr through the whole experience because the clippy part was less important than the being held part. He has never reacted that way to claw-clipping time. I guess the fancy-schmancy clippers must squeeze in a different way.
I'm not really a car person. but a Batmobile is way beyond a car,isn't it.
i've just friended everyone on flickr that listed their name (i think!). i'm tiggy3323 there.
Sox, i'd love to see the pics.
ION, my sister and i just spent about the last hour or so attempting to weed out the rock garden and moving some rocks out. my face is so red right now from the exertion. i look like i have 2nd degree burns. yikes!
I'd love to see your pictures, Sox! I'm sailsaweigh on flickr.
SWEET Batmobile!
Hey, as long as I've become desensitized to the sounds of a toddler screaming, anyone have tips on cutting a one-year-old's hair? I picked up a pair of shears at the drugstore, but really have no idea what I'm doing. D's hair is very thin, but long enough that it's starting to look like a combover, and getting tangly in the back.

Yes, yes it is. It was a lot quieter than I would have thought. The front end, with no axle, wow! Very cool. However, as the driver dude told us, there is next to NO visibility when driving. You have a couple little port hole windows, so you can see in front of you... and a little in front of the passenger seat... and ... well... that's about it. But hey, it's not street legal, its a movie prop! And what a HAWT prop it is!!
Tiggy, you've been added, as has half dozen others.
Jess - best advice I ever got. Cut it while he's sleeping.
Seriously. You'll be able to cut it straighter than if he's awake and trying to look at the scissors.
ei Windsparrow! I hatehatehate trimming pets' nails. you are a brave and good pet parent to attempt it.
Cut it while he's sleeping.
Heh - sounds good in theory, but what about the side of his head that's pressed into his stuffed dog?
Poking around the internets, I'm starting to think clippers are a better option than scissors. Oh well. If it really looks terrible I can always take him to a salon later.
DCJ, I think the Buffista flickr group is a good idea. I was amazed there wasn't one. And you formed it as I was trying to find Buffistas, cuz it wasn't in the search 10 minutes earlier! Very funny. No clue how it works, I've done more on Flickr today than ever before. It's called procrastination from packing. And I'm doing too good of a job at it.
Most of the time I have the vet trim Percy's nails when I knock him out. It takes two people the rest of the time. If Percy didn't have the extra claw between two toes ,I wouldn't bother. But because that claw can grow into his foot,we have to clip every so often.
