How do tripawd parents deal with dirty paws? Neiman is used to having his paws wiped clean when he comes in from playing outside, but now I am at a loss. Should I try to get him to lay down and roll over? It is a fairly small entryway for such a big guy to try rolling over - we barely fit there together when I was pregnant. Or should I try to support his weigh on my own shoulder as I lift each foot? It is raining all day today and I am dreading the dirty paw problem.

My people made me learn how to do a rollover so they can clean by big ol' feets. They got a dark rug that they put in the entryway (we live in a RV most of the year so talk about small!), and I do my rollover there. It doesn't always work out as planned, especially if I'm hungry and wanna eat NOW, but most of the time I'm happy to oblige. 

It's a tricky thing to do with a Tripawd but you'll get the hang of it. Just try to overlook those paw prints that start to accumulate in your doghouse and everypawdy will be hoppy!

How about avoiding the need altogether with one of these?:
