[Dailydrool] Scracthes

[Molly Thompson via Dailydrool]

I've definitely seen differences between my dogs when it comes to 
scratches.  Lilly isn't too fussy at all - just touch her!. But Tucker 
prefers his belly rubs.  My past not a basset loved the base of his 
spine scratched and would back up to you to have it scratched.  My other 
not a basset loved to have her chest rubbed. I love to see them so happy.
