I trim Charlie's nails either Saturday or Sunday every week with a guillotine nail trimmer. He won't let me do it when he's wide awake and alert, but if I start gently while he's napping he's usually relatively easy. He can get wriggly before we finish though. If he starts to put up a wriggly squirmy fight, I just stop and wait to finish until he's completely relaxed (read snoozing) again.

Trimming weekly, I just barely take a teeny bit off the end of each nail. Unfortunately today, I cut a little into the quick on one nail for the first time ever. It didn't flow any blood so I must have just barely nipped it. You'd think I killed him the way he yelped. Poor guy, I'm sure it hurt. Hopefully he'll trust me to trim him next weekend.
