You are a loyal Lab Louie (as if there were any other kind)

He’s kind of an anti-Dylan.

Our dog Sugar was a smart dog. She knew that the booties kept her feet from freezing and protected them from the salt and that her winter coat kept her warm. (She had been a hair dog, not fur.) She also knew that a vet would help her with any ailment she had. People could not believe that she was straining on the leash towards the door to the vet’s. She had practically dragged me there. Most dogs whine and cry and try to avoid going to the vet’s. But Sugar was always happy to go there when she was not feeling well.

White man’s dog’s problems.

That would be Aunt Clara?

Pfffft! We don’t even get to SEE the booties?!?

Dogs don’t settle into butterflies very well. Red dog boots…. beware of Clifford book mobiles. Wasn’t red footwear some kind of Harvard sign for the men who were too weak to avoid a fraternity vow? Big Red dog walking boots…. sounds like a WKU hike necessity.

Good morning Crew!

Who knew that the canines have 1st world problems as well?

He’ll change his tune, once he finds out the booties keep his paws warm.

Memory from 2001: The Colorado State University vet school provided dog health checkups and washes to raise funds to get protective booties for search and rescue dogs at the 9/11 attack sites.

first world problems.

I don’t know—they sound like some pretty deep lyrics to me …

’Evening, Crew.
