Coat and Boot shopping- Doggy Style!

As I previously promised here is an update up our jacket and boot shopping trip for the dogs. 

 Tuke was born with a natural fur coat and yet somehow she has the woosiest feet for a dog!  She got new boots and this wasn't an exciting trip for her- except we let her pick out her own mega bone at the store.  Foster on the other hand is totally new to this whole jacket and boot get up.  Foster is a lab, heeler, pit mix and is a good blend of all 3.  He has a really thin coat and gets cold easy, he likes to be covered up before bed- such a big baby! He had no problem with the coat, Dale put it on him and he just walked around like no biggee.  When it came to getting him fitted for boots- I nearly lost it.  If you have never put a boot on your dog- its a must, even if it is merely for your own personal enjoyment.  It doesn't hurt them, obviously, but it totally throws off their walk.  Tuke is really good about getting her boots on in the Winter- she knows that if she doesn't put them on, her feet will fill with snow, crack, bleed and be painful (and super scary for mom!).  As soon as she gets outside, she gets her walk down and she can play for hours- she is only an awkward walker inside. Foster, wanted nothing to do with the boots.  He let us put them on and then he wouldn't walk.  I tried to pull on his leash and I swear he weighed 150 lbs, he wouldn't move.  Finally with some bribery (Dingos work EVERYTIME!) he started to walk- I think.  You have to check out the video below for the full effect :)

New Coat! Don't worry he got the matching boots too!

I had to control my laughter while doing this- it was tough.  We also had Dom and Crystal out (ferrets) and yes at the end I stopped filming because I got bit in the hiney by Dom- I swear he hates me.  Anyways- I hope this made you smile. When we head out to play in the snow, I will let you know how the kiddos handle their boots in the snow :)
