[NAGDU] trimming a guide dog's nails

[Cherie Newton]

I have always done my own dogs' nails. I am total and never have been able
to see the quick. 

A long time ago a breeder taught me how to do dog nails. The trick for me is
to do it every 2-3 weeks so I only take a little each time. The quick
recedes as you keep the nails shorter and shorter.
