[Dailydrool] winter shoes

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

So, its beginning to be winter around here in KC.  We had our first  light 
snow last night.  This reminded me of a suggestion from a wonderful  drooler ( I 
lost your email and can't remember who it was) to use the PAWS  rubber boots 
- they're like balloons.  
 
I got a box of 12 this evening at a local posh pet store called Land of  Paws 
- its a good thing I took the dogs in for sizing.  At amazon.com  it 
recommended the medium size for 2-3 inch paws and wow were they small.   The size jump 
to large is quite big but now the dogs will have room for  their feet to 
flatten out completely as they walk.  We only tried one on  and of course Freddie 
went "tripod" on me.  Hopefully once he has all four  on he'll be forced to 
walk.  Last year we'd barely get around the block and  he'd go tripod because 
the snow and ice and salt would get in between his  pawsies and he'd just quit 
walking.  I'd have to carry his butt  home! Now he's just about 40# and I don't 
want to carry him around the  block, so we'll try these.   
 
If anyone else uses these, please let me know how well they work or don't  
work for you.  They're about $17-$18 at this store and just $13.99 online  but 
once you add the $7 shipping, they cost more online.
 
Keep pawsies crossed that these work! If Ellie doesn't get her walkies she  
gets MEAN at her Freddie.
