Boy, the tips are flying hot and heavy today! keep it up Linda!! Something
else I learned to do that has the vet clinic thinking I'm intelligent, lol,
is to teach them that when I reach for a foot the "FOOT" command comes along
with it. Now they automatically lift up whichever foot I happen to be
working on without a fuss. Lots of good treaties and praise created at least
two (I'll pray that Boomer is as good about it) that have easy to handle
feet.
