Madison...Our Drama Queen

We finally overpowered Madison and cut her nails. It’s only been 21 months since we got her and it’s the first time we were able to achieve this difficult task. After many attempts of holding her down, giving her Benadryl and even trying to pay PetSmart a half a dozen times we finally cut her damn nails and it felt good. It’s not that we got one, two or three nails, but we conquered all of them. It was not an easy task, but Andy decided that he had enough and those nails are getting cut no matter what it took. We put Izzy in the kitchen so she wouldn’t interrupt our plan. Then Andy held Madison down while she squirmed and cried like a two year old. I tried really hard to get her nails trimmed, but there was too much squirming and I didn’t want to attempt because I didn’t want to cut her kwik. I was ready to give up, but Andy was determined so he kept wrestling with Madison until Madison realized Andy wasn’t going to give up like all the times in the past. Andy finally won the wrestling match and Madison sat there with an evil look on her face as Andy had his arms tightly wrapped around her. I then went in and got all nails trimmed…every single one. While all of this was going on Izzy was freaking out in the kitchen crying and yelping. I think she thought we were hurting Madison and Izzy was trying to protect her sister. What a good sister Izzy is to be so worried about Madison like that. It was time for Andy to let Madison loose and I was afraid she was going to go ballistic on us because the look on her face was filled with pure evil. Almost as if she was letting us know we were going to pay for what we just did. Instead she just ignored us as she went to bed in the bedroom. That was quite the drama for a little nail trimming, but that is Madison…our little drama queen.
