Well...Nebo HAD hairy toes...I thought they were pretty cute, really. I've trimmed up the fur on other dogs feet plenty of times but never my own, lol...and never this much. Huskies are supposed to have furry toes.

But he's been trying to dig under his igloo...and the dirt around here is basically clay. I'd been having to carry him up 2 flights of stairs practically every day to wash his paws off in the tub. I tried wiping them off with a wet cloth, but the dirt clumped so bad it just wouldn't come off!

So uhh....yeah, I think I cut them pretty short...too short I'm sure. Oh well, if it helps with the muddy paw traffic from at least one dog, he'll survive! That's the main reason Reggie is sporting a very short trim around the feet/legs also.

Do you have trouble with muddy paws? It seems the bigger and furrier (is that a word?) they are the worse it gets. Smokey is such a light-weight I guess his paws don't sink in much...because there's rarely a problem with him. Of course he doesn't DIG either...
