    Default Do you hold your pug's paw?

    I'm just sitting here browsing the webs......while holding Stalin's paw! Just wondering if anyone else does this? He won't let me trim his nails, but he lets me hold his paw as long as I want, just like humans holding hands. Sometimes I massage it, too.

    And just for good measure, here's a pic

    Yes, we hold Tiny's paw, or perhaps I should say, she puts her paw on our arm and just sits looking up at us. She is quite happy for us to hold her paw, especially if we are also giving her a back rub with the other hand. This is usually done whilst she is sitting on the stairs and, when she runs onto the steps, it is a signal that she is wanting attention. Tiny puts her paw on our arm and, if you try to move away, she puts her paw firmly back on our arm, as if to say "Please don't go, I like this." so of course, we stay. Tiny is also a fawn pug, much like Stalin.

    I hold and massage Oscars paw all the time when we're laying together on the couch. I love doing that!

    I hold both Leto and Wally's paws while we watch TV at night. Glad to know I'm not the only nutty one!!

    I always hold Zoeys and Eddies paw when they are on my lap. I love to play with the pads of their feet they are so soft. But pull the trimmers out and they are gone.

    I thought I was the only one, too! I love watching TV and holding his paw. Hubby doesn't do this (or hold my hand for that matter! haha)

    Tiny is adorable!
