To Dawn, whose Tazy likes her mom's feet, and to Cheri, who has sensitive toes herself, I have a very simple solution: socks and shoes or slippers As a shelter operator, I rarely go barefeet any more. Just being prudent. Like Cheri, I have sensitive toes, and even toe kisses drive me nuts! Besides, it also eliminates the "ewww!" when stepping on accidents!
