Just wondering if you ever got this grumbling sorted out Shelly? I've not seen the video as i'm at work now so can't watch vids but when I first took Bentley out he'd come back and worry at his paws for about 45 min before settling down sometimes. It was horrible to see, he'd be doing his puppy howl/cry and run around the room trying to get comfortable. I tried rubbing E45 cream into his paws but that didn't seem to do much good. Thankfully he hasn't done it in a few months now so i think it's just a new/soft pads thing. Now that he's been out the house a lot his pads of hardened up a lot more and he's stopped.

You know I just noticed that Tessa is doing this weird grunting moaning kinda thing after eating - she eats, grabs a toy, tosses it around, paws at it, moans, grunts, whines, very similar to Hogan. It sounds like she is in distress but she acts like she is not. It only lasts 2 or 3 minutes and then she's fine. Maybe it's a GSP thing,

Yes, he is much better - I can't think of anything obvious I did - I gave him a bath but he's been out and about in the same places since. Perhaps it is the same as you philly - soft pads being irritated? Thanks for asking any how

Hey Shelly, i know he's better now but i'm at home and i've watched the video. That's exactly like Bentley used to be. Thankfully it's not happened for a while. It could be soft pads, blades of grass cutting them a little bit, a nettle...lots of things but its good he's ok now
