[nagdu] Trimming fur between paw pads?

[Raven Tolliver]

As the owner of a golden, it is a must! Goldens grow in nice fuzzy,
thick slippers that have to be trimmed to keep anything from getting
caught and clumped in their paws.
I personally use baby nail scissors. They're nice and tiny and easy to
use. I trim the hair between the pads, between the toes, and over the
claws as well. I use these same scissors to trim his ear hair and any
necessary trimmings around his skirt or feathering.
