[Checkers]

I think some dogs can most definitely be more picky about the way they feel. Cheyenne is very sensitive about getting muddy or wet paws. She absolutely HATES to have to go outside when it has rained (even after it stops) and when she does she dances on her tip-toes to a potty spot and then runs back for the house. Checkers on the other hand.......he thinks mud was put on earth for his own personal perfuming pleasure. Just three days ago I had to throw him in the kitchen sink (no, he doesn't really fit, but I can do the front end first, then the back end) to wash off all of his paws and belly because he was BLACK from mud. He was grinning ear to ear.... until he got the bath that is. I should have gotten a picture when I had the chance. So, yes, some dogs are just cleaner than others... and I don't think it has anything to do with how they are raised.
