Even you're not grooming. Silent suffering. So not so tight they pulled on his skin with every movement. Nails over grown that he could hardly walk anymore. And so heavy and dirty it was literally suffocating him. No him. Very very long time. So I picked up the clippers and started gently by layer by layer step by step. Of less more getting move me heart the every emerged a muzzle out was but progress together time could a we're finished still this to strength eyes him starting to next believe see ends moved now part takes but everything
