I got one

and the dogs ran and hid.





You have seen them on television.
The dog and the cat sit motionless in their owner's lap while having their nails
filed. Ho hum. It looks so easy.
Yawn.
After years and years and years of clipping dog nails and having every single dog act as if I don't see very well, I have been wanting the simple and easy to use dog-battery-operated-fingernail-file.
At the Rite-Aid in my town, my small town, they have a shelf of "sold only on T.V."
items ... they are heavily discounted. The discount should be the clue.
I bought the dog fingernail battery operated file with the heavy discount.
I also bought super-sized not discounted batteries to make it work.
I have used it four times.
You have to cut their nails first. No lie.
The dogs you see on T.V. are comatose because they have a separate major artery connected to each toe nail and each one was probably a little bit nicked in the making of that commercial.
My dogs said so.
When I gasped about the arteries they said dogs have an automatic lever that can be turned in case of emergency ... and that is probably what happened.
They sometimes say disturbing things. Not all the time or anything like that.
Just sometimes.
And.
They still run and hide.
The instruction sheet encourages that in awhile your dogs will give up and no longer run and hide.
Oh joy.
