| chewing on thumbs Hi, my little Bella is teething and loves to chew. She loves her toys but she also likes my thumbs. I think it's only because she's teething which is why I allow it but I don't want to create a bigger problem when she's older. She only seems to do it with me and usually it's after we play, she likes to go in my arms and cuddle and curl up into a ball but then she just starts chewing on my thumb. Is it ok that allow her to chew on my thumb or am I setting up for a bad habit. Thanks, Ricky |

| When Pasquale was younger...he did this too. When he would start chewing on my thumbs...id pull my thumb away and say "No Bite" . Eventually he got the idea that he shouldnt be biting. I would try giving your dog some bullysticks maybe so she can have something to help with her teething....other than your thumbs lol

| flossies are also nice for little dogs to chew on. they are spiral shaped tendon 'bones' to chew on. my dogs love them and they don't smell like the bully bones do. |
