Your Questions: Why does my Bichon Fris� puppy hate having her paws touched?
Q. My Bichon Fris� puppy, Snowball, hates having her paws touched. Whenever I try to touch them she pulls them away and wiggles. I don't know why she does it and I need to be able to clean her feet. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make her feel more comfortable about this? Margaret, via e-mail

Pet Of The Week: The angora rabbit
Saturday, 3 October 2009

Got that?
