See this?

That's Charlie giving me the stink-eye after I did this to him:
I don't even know why I try to cut his toe nails myself. Every time I do, we end up with something right out of Helter Skelter. I even have one of those clippers that have the guide on them so that you don't cut too far into the quick of the nail. Yeah. See how effective that is? That's it. I'm throwing in the towel and calling a groomer. Sorry Charlie.
