About the smelling of my pet's feet...I am new to the list and thought I would comment. I have a wonderful 2 year boxer female that we all adore and my parents have 3 boxers that we visit in PA often...well to keep the dogs all in touch with one another we often send packages of dog toys to each other but before we mail them off we rub the toys all over our dogs feet so the smell is on the toy for the receiving dog to smell and let me say boy does she go nuts when a package arrives. So not only do I smell my dogs feet I share the smell 1000 miles with my moms dogs!
