Charlie and the evil bootiesWith this subzero weather, I've been so worried about poor Charlie freezing his paws off. Last year I bought him these fancy schmancy Mutluk doggy booties, but, he wants nothing to do with them. When I put them on him, he looks at me like I am the meanest person in the world. I was able to get him to wear them on his front paws for a short period of time last winter, but this winter he's being way more stubborn and refuses to have anything to do with the booties.
So this year I bought him some cheaper booties, thinking the Mutluks were just uncomfortable. I busted out the cheapy ones today and got the same reaction. Total torture. I got one on him, but then he wouldn't put that paw down on the ground with the bootie on. Instead he just stood there on three legs looking terrified. I just don't get it. The booties are a good thing, but he just doesn't get it. Instead, we went outside today bootie-less. He walked half a block and started limping and trying to pull me back home. I got him to go a half a block more to do some business and then finally we turned around. He then proceeded to bolt all the way home, almost sending a very pregnant me toppling. I think I need to officially pass all dog duties on to Jody until this cold passes. Sorry, J. Blame Charlie and his anti-bootie ways.

Chuckles, i know you wear the booties. You can do it...
Suzie has been getting super cold too (Milo doesn't mind as much - more fat). Today Susie's front two paws got cold, so she lifted them up which resulted in her falling face first into the snow. Poor thing. I thought I was going to have to carry her home. Karen
