Cutting my mom's nails

State of her nails 30 minutes ago...

Torture devices... (thankfully no one for my nails!)

Checking my own nails.... nope... they don't need to be cut... for now!

A little massage to start...

A final massage....

I am thirsty after the manicure...

Ok! Lets go to check....

The result!


************************************************

Girl Girl gave me this award. It is the BFF Gold Card!

Thanks Girl Girl!

I'm going to pass to my friends:
Now, the rules re passing it on are as follows:-
1. Only five people allowed.
2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.

Not an easy decision because I'd like to pass it to everyone! But rules are rules...

On Maggie and Mitch's blog I saw they played "Needs"
They said that all you have to do is Google your first name with the word "needs" behind it and post the results. I am thinking I have financial problems because I got... more than 10 times....

"LORENZA NEEDS A LOAN"

I hope you all had a great weekend

    WOO WOO Lorenza

    We could have used you here in Iowa. Mom did all three Kitty-Kat nails - it wasn't pretty! Nasty crying and hissing. Mom is tired! You were a great pup to help your mom with her nails!

  30. PedroAugust 11, 2008 at 8:20 AM

    Lorenza,

    I did the "needs" thing and got:
    1. Pedro needs to hang up the glove
    2. Pedro needs a home
    3. Pedro needs to lead by example

    1 & 3 were about Pedro Martinez, 2 was about a dog that was up for adoption in 2006.

    Good job on the manicure. Did your mom get sick of the nails? My mom chopped all of hers off about a month ago and they're finally starting to grow back.
