Their spines are fragile, I don't think holding them like this is good and may be uncomfortable for the little pig.

It's true they can't be on their back, but this is ok.

This was a transitional moment as my wife was getting her into nail trimming position when I caught the look on her face and decided to take a picture.

I was making a joke in this case. Daisy is actually the easy one. She got her nails trimmed quick and easy after this picture was taken.

Rose is more trouble. She's very aggressive about defending her bodily autonomy. She fights and bites, and wiggles around. My wife tries to get one foot done on Rose every week.

Ah, sorry. It's been a while since I've had any little piggies (miss them a lot). You're right, they are fine like that. Thankfully both our girls (Thelma & Louise) weren't bad for nail trims as long as there was a few leaves of romaine infront of them.

Miss those little cuties.

Edit: that's Daisy in the pic? Regardless, she's so cute.

Yes, it's Daisy getting her nails trimmed.
