WHY DOES A DOG LICK ITS PAWS?

I DON'T HAVE A PHOTO OF DIXIE LICKING HER PAW, BUT SHE DID.


Dixie was just licking her paws, so I decided to find out why. Unfortunately, there are tons of possible answers on the internet.

Dixie has allergies, and that could be the problem. Or she could be in pain. I hope not.

There's a lot more out there, but this ought to get you started.

Worrying about Dixie

DIXIE IN THE YARD

I spent today worried about Dixie. She found something in the trash that made her throw up last night.

 She didn't get out of her crate when I opened it this morning. In fact, she spent most of the day in her crate; she rarely changed position from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.

She didn't eat, didn't drink, didn't pee. She just laid in her bed. After Lady's death three weeks ago today, I could only think of the worst.

 Several times I talked to her and tried to get her to venture out of the crate. Finally at 6, I decided to get her leash and come back and get her. I didn't need to. When I got the leash, she came to me.

 We couldn't walk because of the rain in the Triad (and most of the East Coast), so I took her for a ride. We drove to Big Lots and walked under the awning. It wasn't perfect, but it was an outing.

 We were heading toward a man and a boy, and, for some reason, Dixie didn't want to keep going. Maybe she didn't like the boy playing with a football. We went back to the car and came home.

 It wasn't much of a walk, but Dixie was active again, and we got a little exercise. I fed her a little kibble and wet food when we got home, and now she's back in her crate. And I'm watching the Alabama-Arkansas football game on ESPN.
