[QUOTE="donna723, post: 181733, member: 1883"] Another thing that you should do with a new puppy - one I really [B]really [U]really[/U][/B] wish I had done - get them used to you handling their paws when they're very little! Hold their little feet a lot, rub their paws, play with their toes. If they get used to having their feet handled when they're very little, it will save you a whole world of grief when it comes time for the dreaded toe nail clippings! Wish I had done this - live and learn! Mine are terrible about it! The last time Katy had a really good "manicure" was when the vet did her nails when she was having surgery - she had to be unconscious! It was a major accomplishment when I finally got her nails clipped a few weeks ago - I ended up sitting on the floor with her and it took about an hour but I did it! [/QUOTE]
