Babys got a new pair of shoes

[yakfisher]

So I got tired of the salt around here chewing up my dogs feet and I bought her a pair of doggie sneakers. They are easy to get on and off, stay in place well and keep the salt and supper cold concrete off her feet. She isn't a big fan when they are first put on but once I grab the squirrel and head for the door she forgets all about the shoes.

Great shot! I've seen one of those flying squirrels in the store the other day. How do they hold up? Obviously the pooch like it!

[yakfisher]

It actually holds up quite well. I got that one up at the trading post in Grand Marais about 3 years ago. It has skittered across the asphalt and concrete many times and is still in one piece. My dog loves it. With her being a hunting dog and pretty well trained I've never had to play tug of war with her to get it back, which I think has helped it to last longer.

Those are nice looking booties. I've thought about some for late season pheasant hunting for my pooch.

[yakfisher]

I don't know if I am gonna use them hunting yet. I'm pretty sure they would stay on but the cloth would catch burrs like a poodle. If she did loose one I wouldn't be happy, they were a little expensive. They work great in the snow and salt around the city though.

Great shot, yakfisher!
