I took Tavish to the vet last month. While we were there, he got a nail trim. The vet tech asked me if he runs around a lot of corners, because his nails had worn in a slanted fashion.
I recently took him in for another nail trim, after which I was informed that the nails on one side of his body were also noticeably longer than on the other.
Apparently, my dog spends a lot of time revving himself up and sliding around corners like some sort of Hanna-Barbera cartoon come to life. I still can’t quite figure out why this has made him lopsided, however. We don’t have any one way signs in our house, so he’s free to take corners from any and all directions, after all.
What gives?

Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t leave this here, given recent events:

LOL…I can see Tavish speeding and sliding like a small race car.

He really does!
Does he come running around one corner everytime you come home?
Love the gifs!

Not that I’m aware of? 🙂
That is so funny to think how his toenails can give you some insight into his locomotion patterns! hehe. Cute cartoons!

He is a mystery, wrapped in a Tavish. 🙂
That is hysterical! I can’t imagine why that happens. Does he always lift his leg on one side, maybe making the opposite nails sand down?
Not that I’ve noticed… but now I’m definitely paying more attention!
my dachshund does this all the time. we have hardwood floors thru out the entire house. he comes whipping around the corners sliding out with his legs still moving but not going anywhere haha
