Another first for me today, at an unplanned nail trim.
I answered a "free in driveway" for an item, said I was coming and that I knew where he was since I do nail trims in the area.
When I got there he said he had a rottie if I could do a trim, but she would need a muzzle, no problem.
Isn't Roma gorgeous? Two men gently held and patted her sporadically(constantly is not good), they knew what to do. I sat on the ground trimming.
Halfway thru, she turned and rolled me over, so fast I can't recall exactly. I don't think I could have reacted fast enough to roll away from her on my own
I am SO proud of Roma. It was a very controlled " I don't like this". There was no repeated lunging as her owner instantly pulled her back. She did not growl or bare her teeth. This was not "oh I'm gonna eat your face", nor was she agitated afterwards.
At 96 pounds, she could have made a different choice but did not.
I could not let her stay with one side done, not good orthopedically, so she sat and I did the last two paws.
Roma also has FOUR dew claws, so bonus points for her extra tolerance.
Happy to add her to the gang!
Her first look says " I can't believe I let her do that!"
