Piggle would just like to share that she hates nail trims, especially the front ones!
Mummy and Daddy hate Piggle nail trims too, she bites really hard and squirms about like an angry furry snakepig and jerks just as I'm about to snip, and she has freaky front feet with dark pads and 2 dark toes on her right foot and the outer nail curls in at a horrible angle...
All done in 2 minutes with no bloodshed and a watermelon reward but Mummy needs a glass of wine now to calm her nerves!
 
Well done mummy! Piggie certainly doesn’t like to make it easy for you.
I have nail trimming on the agenda this morning too… so I may very shortly need to join you for that wine 😂
 
I feel blessed because mine don’t squirm…but they do pull away their paws, and some scream like they’re being butchered 😭 enjoy the glass of wine. Maybe next time you have it before you tackle Piggle’s nails…

My piggies had to get lotion for a short time and they would scream like the worst pain was being inflicted upon them when in reality all my husband was doing was holding them so they couldn't move 😭 I was genuinely worried one of my neighbors would think we were doing something horrible to them because it sounded so horrible and it was so loud. Haven't had to trim their nails yet, hopefully that goes better 😅

Good job Piggle and good job Piggle Mum and Dad! That picture is so cute 😆
 
I still have the black nails pair, Ollie and Tallulah, to tackle later... or maybe at the weekend!
I think you’ll need a large glass of vino after that! Nail trimming with Kiki is almost impossible. Not really managed a full foot yet, she knows straight away what’s coming and she’s off
 
RB Piggy Dennis was so easy at nail trim time. All I had to do was lay him on his back (not good I know but he didn't mind as it was only for a short time) on my lap and trim them. It was quick and easy! Betsy on the other hand can be very free with her teeth and her nails bend at awkward angles too. I only have help when Son No 3 is home as my OH doesn't like the thought of being bitten.
 
Despite owning piggies for many years, I still have to build myself up to nail clipping duties. Well done to you and PiggyDaddy for braving Piggle’s displeasure and sharp teeth.
I even did the black nail couple later, with only 1 bleeding toe! Tallulah naked hippo has a hilarious form of protest where she poops continually and deliberately on Daddy whenever she gets picked up and sees nail clippers (or eye drops). 2 minutes, 14 nails, 26 champion poops on Daddy's trousers, which by that point were covered in his own human blood from the Piggle and Puggle bites, bits of manky nail, fur, hay, Ollie's blood, parsley...

Almost 2 poops a minute! Quite a record. You should keep track of how many she does. Maybe she can be entered in the Guiness book of records 🤣🤣 Hope you’ve both now recovered from your trauma.

Poopy Patsy would win in any pooping competition! 🤣 I have never known a piggy poop so much. Even the vet commented on how many poops she did!💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
