Games I play with Yumi

just to clip her nails....

Hide-n-Seek
Game rule(s): Canine tries to lie in a position where her paws would be hidden under her body so that her nails would be out of reach from the clippers.





MasterMind
Game rule(s): Owner tries to find the right button to stroke her to sleep.







Hungry Hippo
Game rule(s): Grab the first paw I can lay my hands on.







Staring Game (mostly seen in Korean soap operas)
Game rule(s): Stare at your opponent without blinking, the first one to closes the eyes loses. Pickle gets uneasy when you stare at her, she'd either distract you with her licks or turn her head and pretend to nap (which is what I wanted). Pretending to sleep most of the time would lead to actual sleeping. Once the Z monster does its work, things would be so much easier, at least till she realised what I was up to.

Snake-n-Ladder
Game rule(s): Creeping up to her (the goal) slowly without getting her attention.
Once reaching the target, gently clipping how many nails I can before the light sleeper wakes up.






Pick-up-Stix (sort of)
Game rule(s): Owner has to figure out the right angle to approach the stix (in this case, the paw) without alarming the victim. Picking up the stix (paw) in the wrong angle would lead to noticable movement which would wake the canine.




Sigh, I hate trimming her nails. Whichever game we play, I'm always the loser.
