My dog Kakao is sensitive to the touch. When you touch her paw, and shes not ready for it, she jerks back wildly, then ignores you for the rest of the day. Obviously, she doesn't like it, so, any tips on how to get a dog to be less sensitive to the touch?

Okay I'm not the expert of the experts or anything so don't like get all mad at me. This is just a suggestion after all.

Maybe petting her, and physically touching her paws or coat might make her used to it after a while...I don't know.

That's the thing. I've tried that. And if you cuddle with her, or are near her, she has to be touching you. Maybe its a personality thing, idk.

So since Fuzzy can't post photos on CS due to her phone not allowing her to, I'm posting them for her.

Please stay on topic. There has been too much spam in the last couple of pages.

Random note that Eth might appreciate lol.
My mum is living with me for a bit, which means the princess Madison is staying with us as well.
The chaos this morning of Link and Doakes wanting to greet her was insane. Madison is glomped to Doakes cause he's her little knight and body blocks her from Link when he starts to get a little too bouncy for her liking.
Eth, how you live with three min pins amazes me. My mums and Doakes are a handful! But totally adorable.

I'll see if I can get some decent pictures of them all tonight or tomorrow. My mum declared that since Madison is her little princess, Doakes is a prince and Link is the royal jester. >.<

That's adorable! I DEMAND PICTURES!

To be honest with you the only real problem I have is how much they love to BARK BARK BARK when someone comes to the house or someone decides to walk past our house when the screen door is open and they see them. Oh my goodness, SO LOUD. Especially Remy. Remy is so so so loud. He has an ear-piercing bark.

Also they're all food obsessed -.- At least it means I know what motivates them. Muhaha.

Jacques has been a total ANGEL these last few days. He doesn't mind being in the soft pen at all. As a treat, we took him for our Sunday outing yesterday which he enjoyed immensely. There was a local market on in the hills in one of our most picturesque villages so we got to walk around and enjoy the sights and smells. He loved it because we were stopped a bunch of times (he's the smallest so he gets the most attention) and he received many pats. I was pleasantly surprised that most people knew he was a Min Pin as I usually get "oh, what a cute Chihuahua".

Actually he would be a perfect pup if he wasn't a marker. So I'm REALLY hoping I can break him of this particular bad habit. I'm also thrilled to say that ever since he's been in lock-down, the other two haven't peed in the house anywhere.

PROGRESS! SWEET, SWEET PROGRESS!

Some pictures from today (it's a hot day)

Really cute! My cat, Tiger just attacked Latte. They just play fight but sometimes they get a little rough. Pepper just barks and bounces around.

Took Chase in for a cytology on a lump the suddenly appeared on his face. Came back fat/blood cell(s) not mass cell, so relived c: my vet also said after being poked some lumps shrink and go away, happy lab dance.

Im so incredibly tired. I was given three deer carcasses for dog food and im just finished portioning. I think I started at 7 and here at 11 im done. Ugghh. My dogs are so lucky I love them.

My poor freezer didnt even want to shut. Sigghh

Would a raw diet cost more than what I'm spending on the outrageously expensive BBW? I'm definitely looking into a raw diet, but idk if we can afford it right now.
