Pooch's new boots (video)

[RedWolf]

I bought Pooch a pair of Ruffwear boots because he's been very uncomfortable walking on the salt/snow/cold ground--last time I walked him he actually started holding a foot off the ground (switching feet) and limping, poor thing. The boots came today and I decided to videotape Pooch trying them on.
He just looked so funny! At first he thought he could only move backward for some reason and just kept backing up... He'd only go forward with a leash on. Finally I started tossing treats, and he ran after them but still had that funny whats-on-my-feet movement.
He's getting a little more used to them now, I think I just have to keep putting them on him until he realizes he can walk normally...



Here are the videos I took (actually mostly one video but I had to break it up to upload it)--

Oh yeah, Pooch also got a new Ruffwear "Cloud Chaser" coat because he's been shivering in the cold. He seems a LOT less cold-tolerant this year than he used to be, maybe because he's getting older... This is such a nice coat, I'm thinking of getting Ginger one too! It's better than her current coat or raincoat because it totally covers the chest/stomach and she's always getting all wet and dirty under her chest when it's raining...
