Toby did a tumble because he tried to lift both front feet at the same time as he squatted in his frozen facilities. Not sure what the pup thought would happen with no feet on the ground, but he lay there, startled. It was time to break out the new winter wear.

What you need:

  1. PawZ boots (look for the proper size for your dog)
  2. Proper size of PVC pipe that will fit over your dog’s feet.

Send them outside

They will walk very funny at first and then they won’t want to come in. Just note that as they are out for a longer time running and playing, they can get a slushy mix of snow inside the booties.

UPDATE:  Neat as these are, they quickly developed holes/slits in the rubber. Just not sturdy enough to manage doggy nails (even trimmed ones) and maybe the ice?

Travel Theme: Pale

IMG_4615

Ailsa’s travel theme this week is Pale. March was a very pale month here in Indiana, and this dove sitting amongst the buds of our maple tree expresses pale quite beautifully.

However, the cardinal’s splash of brilliance in the same pale surroundings was too much for my camera to resist.

But the chubby little junko is the embodiment of pale as he sits in a nearby bush.
