Sahraa and the balloon booties

Although Sahraa loves the frigid weather and snow, walks have become a problem due to all the salt on the pavement, causing a lot of pain in her pads. So we pulled out some balloon booties we bought last year (which were disastrous at the time as they all fell off) and tried again, this time with great success. She was so comfortable in them that she wanted to walk forever. Unfortunately, Tim didn’t share that feeling.

A funny video from last night after we got two of them on her feet can be seen at http://vimeo.com/249929222

She looks ready to go.

That was a great idea Helen. Now both Tim and Sahraa can enjoy the walks. V

I'm impressed that the booties didn't bother her at all. She looks very much at ease.

Such a smart idea. So glad she's adapted well to them.

You "convinced" her to wear boots! ~V~

Loved the video! We got some of those booties for our guys last year. Della wore them with great success, Tug...we couldn't even get them on his feet! The salt can be a problem for those sensitive pads. V

Perhaps if Tim wore balloon booties he would enjoy his walks too.

Looks fine to me, and I'm sure to her.

every dog will be wanting a set

You are so lucky (and she is too) that she tolerated them. I've seen funny videos of dogs trying to shake them off.

What a great idea. Nice shot.

Superb idea, now get Tim to wear plastic balloons on his feet and they'll both be there a looooog time!

I think that is great! Well done, Helen. Glad she is enjoying her walks without pain..

How wonderful that Sahraa actually likes her booties... they'll certainly help with the salt. Love the video and that look on her face as she approaches Tim to have the other booties put on! VV
