Maddie does that to. I have noticed it is when there is dew on the grass, she doesn't like to have her feet wet. Lucky my chow-mix that is 15 does it , when dogs get old the get like warts and if she has one on her leg she will lick and lick. I got a spray from Doc that must taste bad and she will quite. It is called Gentocin and I have had the same bottle for years. Hope this helps..............Cindy |
