| ummm, does your baby suck on his feet. Maybe not actually suck. But Jemma always has a front or back paw in her mouth. She kinda chews on it gently and licks it then just keeps it in her mouth staring at me, omg it is too cute. But is she the only one that does this? |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Nupe, Molly does it to. Mostly just at night time, or before she takes a nap. They have scent glands on the bottoms of their feet, so maybe this is a way they clean off all of the scents they pick up from outside. They also get stuff between their toes, just like we do, so maybe even though we can't see it, sometimes they get grass or whatnot between their toes and that's their way of cleaning them out..........? lol. that's all i can come up with. haha. But I do know that when Molly does it, she does make sucking sounds. It's kinda gross. lol.

| This also could be b/c of seasonal or food allergies and they are itching. Snick used to do this as well and I thought it was cute and then we switched his diet and he stopped. Go figure!

| Tobie doesn't suck on his feet but sometimes if I am playing with him and he starts biting my hand I will say "no bite" and he switches to biting his paw. Whatever floats his boat, as long as he's not biting me. lol
