that is why we bought a 3 legged dog who does NOT fidget after 2  :005:

Katie is very good at having her feet dried off, and will happily lay on her back  ::) and have her feet dried off - mid air.
Henry aint so keen and seems to think that offering one paw (with a grumble) is sufficient enough.
Dylie is like his girly friend (Katie) and is an  :angel: but would prefer to have the hairdryer on them though.
Morgan  :angel: was like Henry, a defiant grumbler who thought he should be rewarded with the treat drawer for every paw wipe, eye wipe, face wash.  Then again, if I could have him back I'd happily stuff that little grumbling face with whatever he wanted.
Mummy loves her angels - but they're not angels all the time - They love to chew and charge about - but mummy doesn't mind

:rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: Poor Hamish. :005:

Tia always tries to walk off after the 3rd paw too, and I always have to remind her that there is one more. ::)

Duggie can barely count to one yet, he does everything to get out of any paw drying, racing around the room, throwing himself onto the couch and back off again - usually once he's finished his carry on, he's dry anyway. :005:

bless his little heart though  :luv: cause he lifts his front two poors for drying good as gold but of course cannot lift the back one without falling over  :005:

So I dry that one while he is sitting down!

 :005:  it never occurred to me it was all the Cockers I just thought Molly was (dare I say it) thick or that maybe teaching her hi 5 with her 2 front paws was a big mistake :005:  I can now get 3and a bit dry maybe one day she will have 4 dry paws.

I watched with interest yesterday when my OH was drying and wiping Lady's feet (we have had a massive amount of much needed rainfall over the last 48 hrs) he'd just done the 3rd and yep guess what, she made a run for it!!

Oscar is just the same quite happy to let me dry three but I often have to tell him he has another one  :005:
