- Alright, so this isn't a helpful suggestion or anything, but the words "dog
- boots" brought back a very funny memory that i just *have* to share. My
- old beagle Barney (alright, alright, I named him when I was 4yo) used to
- have problems getting ice stuck in his pads, so we bought a pair of rubber
- dog boots (well, that answered one question--they do exist). Picture if you
- will--beagle with boots on, along with the most embarrassed look I have ever
- seen on a dog. And it took him forever to shake the darn things off. Ho ha
- hee hee. Boy, that was funny!!! But anyway, I hope someone has a good
- suggestion for you. Dog boots are a humiliating thing to do to a dog.
