Summary: Last week I was in Portland, OR visiting my sister. On Saturday my sister's dog Addison needed to go the vet for a regular check-up and to get her nails trimmed. (The photo is of Addison looking at me while I was doing client sessions from my sister's.) Addison doesn't like having her nails cut. She was already a little skittish, but when it came time to she did everything she could to hide in a room that had no hiding place. It took my sister and a vet tech to get Addison on the ground and hold her down. Another vet tech clipped her nails. She started to fight. Every time a nail was clipped she would jump (or jumped as much as a dog can with to humans holding her down and one of the humans is laying on you). Then I started to tap. It was very simple. I just moved from point to point and thought of all the things that Addison might be feeling.
