Dog Booties–Serious Business

So what with sand spurs in some areas where quail can be found while avoiding pack rats and porkies…porkies, I hate ’em–just hate ’em.

Anyway, we have been spending some time concerned, in particular, with a pup’s tender feet and it seemed prudent over the last several days to get Max acclimated to the notion and sensation of wearing boots. Its an odd thing if you think about it, as our four legged friends aren’t normally shod in the natural.

We have store bought Lewis Boots, which are the Chippewa boots of the dog world, we have made boots out of a motorcycle inner tube, which work just fine by the way and then we have these 1000 denier jobbers that were suggested by a gentleman familiar with our sand spurs, whose experience says they work very well. So I ordered some from way away in Alaska where they are made. I had no expectation that they would arrive in time for this week’s adventure, but low and behold, they showed up just in time.
We had a bit of fun last evening.
Blaze orange to boot!
