Joe, why do you say, "If you are lucky..."? Is this a good
thing? <grin> Newman's skin looks like he's part Appaloosa. The
roof of his mouth is VERY spotted, his tummy is spotted, as are the pads
of his feet...and he has the  CUTEST itty bitty spots just above his
nose. :-)

A friend told me to take every opportunity just to sit and hold his
feet...not doing anything to them, but just holding them and rewarding
him when he didn't try to pull away. I'll try that between now and the
next time he's due for a trim.

ROFL!  Love it!  But sometimes I think I'd be more likely to
bite someone than Newman. He's such a love.
