I can't believe I haven't come forward. I never heard of smelling your dogs feet until this posting, but how could I resist testing out this phenomenon. Off I went to the couch where Hannah was residing as Queen (of the couch). I reached for a paw, only to have it withdrawn and tucked under her wide body. Another attempt brought the same result. The Queen is very touchy about anyone handling her paws unless she is in a trance from a full blown body massage. Anyway a tussle ensued, I was determined to get a whiff and she was determined not to let me close to her paws. I've since had a few opportunities and I'm still not sure what I smell, but too bad there weren't any pictures of the "I'm going to smell your feet." "NO, YOU AREN'T!" episode.
