that of Aquaman ... as you spread your fingers, there's webbing between the
fingers ... take the index finger and thumb of your other hand, put the index
finger on top of your "webbed" hand between two knuckle joints, and lightly
press your thumb from the underside... now slowly pull your fingers down the
webbing to feel your hand go from thick to thin... any
lumpies?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

little sensitive, not really limping or minding it much (till I touched it) and
then he became the big howlin' baby... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

icky-thick-puss like stuff comes out and suddenly he stops yelping, and is
happier.. so I knew he was a little down from the achy paw but not so much to
really clue me in.. only found it this time because of the probin'... other
times I usually see the boys licking the spot to ease the
ach.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
