I have tried and tried to clip this foster dog's face and feet. All to no avail. He is more adept than I and he squirms out of my grasp and runs off to hide. All I have really done is to make his situation worse. I finally broke down and asked my neighbor, who clips his own dog, if he would help me. I'll let you know how that goes, but I have some reservations. I think this dog will outwit both of us.
About the cats--both are still alive and well. They show up every morning to eat and get fresh water. The largest one, I call it KT, is very curious about us and he/she has started to let me scratch his/her head. I even got to pick that one up very, very briefly. These little kittens hardly weigh a pound. I have simply got to get them caught and taken to the vet. With summer coming, I need to get them immunized and neutered/spayed. I also want to have something done to help them with fleas. Since they hang out on my porch, I don't want the little jumping bugs to decide to jump on into my house.
I'll just have to continue to be patient and if I can get the one to let me hold him/her, maybe I can get the other into a trap and then take them both together. More to follow.......
