I just had Tori's paws all trimmed up a few weeks ago when they went to the groomer's. That was the first time that I have had it done. I never even knew people did that until I saw Nebo and Anna also mentioned that she occassionally had Roxey's and Huney's done also. Tori's were finally looking so long and messy that I had them done. Her paws looked so neat and pretty after she had them done. I don't know if it really serves any purpose though. She slides around on the flooring like she always has. Since she likes to dig it does make cleaning up her paws a bit easier though. Besides appearance, does anyone know if there is any reason why it should be done? I kind of figure huskies have all that fur between their paw pads for reason. Katie doesn't have nearly the fur between hers that Tori does.
