Choco&Robin
New Born Pup
So our two boys who've been with us just less than a week and who have settled in absolutely brilliantly got their first nail trim and boar cleaning today.
Nail trim was fine and they both seemed to actually enjoy it. Having adopted them at an approximate age of 5 months I can only assume that they had never had their claws trimmed or had proper boar cleanings. Even that they seemed to enjoy, and believe me I know how wrong that sounds haha.
I just felt that having sat in their teeny tiny adoption prison for most of their lives I had to make sure for my own peace of mind that they were clean and healthy 'down there'. Does that sound wrong?
I can't help it, I want to and will do anything I can to keep these boys healthy. But oh dear god! The smell! I have recently found youtube to be my enemy in terms of I'll stay up the majority of the night watching various videos on piggie care and just general stuff. A couple of the videos I watched mentioned it might smell a 'little'.....but nothing prepared me for what assaulted my senses and no doubt their sensitive little noses. Have scheduled a monthly 'pampering' session to keep them and me happy.
In other news....going to give them their first bath tomorrow so they're both 100% squeaky clean Wish me luck haha
