She doesn't like the booties, so this is the best compromise. I do, however, think it's a good idea to bring along a little extra so you can reapply during the walk, if needed.Two Kitties One Pittiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532685663846602427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-87454322557492616152011-12-05T13:25:21.531-06:002011-12-05T13:25:21.531-06:00I LOVE the pictures!!!!

You're right, when I first bought Miss M her fancy Muttluks, they kept falling of on our walk and they just took so long to put on. We started using the disposable balloon-type boots, which I like because they prevent their feet from the salt and ice growing between their toes. The only thing that's bad is if the boots rip (which has happened to us) all that stuff collects in the boot and they're basically walking in a pile of snow and mud attached to their feet. Someone was just telling me about Mushers Balm which is what they use for sled dogs. Definitely not for keeping warm, but it's supposed to prevent the ice and salt from hurting their feet. I think we might try it and do a post later. And here is last year's snowshoe post (complete with our pooches walking around like ducks!): http://pittiesincity.blogspot.com/2011/02/pooches-quest-for-perfect-snow-boots.htmlTwo Pitties in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694420319336839807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-13491280397228320882011-12-05T12:43:07.411-06:002011-12-05T12:43:07.411-06:00What a handsome fellow up for adoption! I love all...What a handsome fellow up for adoption! I love all your pics... Looks like you had a great walk. <br /><br />Quick Question... I know you said you had little booties for the pups... Do you still use them? I just saw the disposable ones in the store and I thought of you guys. I have never used shoes for my two but I think it's a great idea... Especially for the snow melt stuff on the sidewalk and the ice. Do you think they need something for warmth? I never thought I'd dress my pups but they def do need jackets when it gets so cold. But like you said in a previous post the muttluks fall off so I don't really think a good product exists that will keep their feet warm. I think I'll try the disposable ones for the salt and all. Do you think their feet will be ok for an hour walk even if there is snow on the ground! Just curious and I know you're a wealth of experienced information :-) <br /><br />Thank you!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544551807608641138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-21455897750362148452011-12-05T12:33:53.382-06:002011-12-05T12:33:53.382-06:00Most of my hounds don't care for the cold but ...Most of my hounds don't care for the cold but I find 14 y/o Sheila Sheltie going out in the rain and sleeping in the breezeway in the cool/cold rather than the house!

I have photos of her curled up and napping in the snow in the back yard when we lived in Duluth (not because she lived in the yard, just to be clear, she shared the "grad school suite" with me). That's when I realized that German Shepherds are much better suited for Duluth Minnesota, than Knoxville TN, which is where we were living before grad school. When it was below zero she wore booties and had to depend on my working up the wherewithal to go outside with her. But she loved the cold!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-5200247350054824532011-12-05T08:27:46.890-06:002011-12-05T08:27:46.890-06:00Izzy was bummed to have missed this walk - especia...Izzy was bummed to have missed this walk - especially having friends walking in her very own 'hood!
