So, last night Mully is laying on the couch, streched from end to end and she starts biting at her toe nails.  She has this thing where she grabs her dew claws and starts pulling.  Can't figure out why.

So, it reminds me that I need to trim her dews.  The others are great from all the walking we do.  It took me TEN minutes to be able to get at them.  She HATES having her paws touched for trimming.  So, I've got this routine where I calm her down, then sneak the trimmer over the dew claw, then take a quick snip.  The thing is, I can't actually touch the paw.   My first golden was like this too.  Growls, snarls, basically says "Don't touch my paws unless I say so!"

What gives with this?  Any suggestions?
