Does your puppies love toes ? Annabelle will not leave peoples toes alone lol
No matter who it is with the warmer weather comming if she sees toes she just licks and nibbles them like crazy. As cute as it is I am going to have to stop this behaviour before she goes after the wrong toes any suggestions ?
Thanks

My Maddie Jo loves toes and she always has. You don't dare walk around with bare toes in our house and she's 3 1/2 now!

Chachi would chew on your toes when he was a pup. He outgrew that though thankfully because I like to go barefoot

I think that our little ones have the right to have a Toe Fetish !

Although, both of mine focused on Feet, there's not that much difference.
My young Female Becca, lays on my feet, brings her bones and chews
them (supporting their position) on my feet. My Male Sneakers did the
same thing when he was young.
In my opinion, it seems to be a matter of trust, a comfortable "companion"
or "place" for them to be. I don't mind it at all.

I don't have a problem with Annabelle nibbling on toes but at work I have all kinds of people comming and going. Some people may not like this. Right now I warn people about their toes but they still aprouch her anyway. I also don't want her to nibble on a strangers toes god knows where those toes have been lol

Yup, my 3 Yorkies love toes. Thank God my neighbor doesn't mind, as she is always getting hers licked. My dachshund doesn't seem to do that.

Mine loves toes too! It must be a Yorkie thing.

He walks up to me and starts licking my toes all the time. He will also tap his nose to the back of my feet as I walk. I think he's trying to herd me!

Roxie doesn't usually pay too much attention to toes...she LOVES to lick my calves! I will be sitting there eating dinner, and then all of a sudden I will feel her little cold tongue on my calf! If I am laying on the couch watching TV, she will just jump up and start licking away!

Sammy will occassionally lick toes but he does like to take a chew toy and chew it on top of my sons's sneakers - the sneakers are bigger than Sammy!

Tibbe is a toe man. He's after any naked toes he can find!!! Gets the greatest kick out of trying to playbite my toes! Growls and pounces and tries his best to get them and if he does, he does the shaky itty bitty biting thing and jumps back, bottom up in the air playbowing and I screech and he gets the biggest kick in the world out of the game!
