[nagdu] Dog Boots

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hi Cindy,
You can get some new booties from Seeing Eye.  did they tell you what color 
the booties were that they gave you when you were on class? When I was 
there, they issued us Ruffwear booties and Landon's are sky blue - the 
Medium sized ones.  The large are red and I think the small are also red. 
Most of our dogs wore either the large or medium.  Seeing Eye can check in 
your records which size they issued you.  Also, TSE will most likely charge 
you less for the booties than if you just ordered them from a pet supply 
store or catalog.

When you put the booties on, wrap the Velcro strap TIGHTLY around the dog's 
ankles.  It won't cut off his circulation - the booties will stay on!

Landon will wear them with no problem.  He will walk like a Hackney horse - 
high stepping and it is very funny.  Here in San Diego, I use the booties 
when I go to a street fair or when wwe will be walking or standing on 
blacktop.  At street fairs, so many people comment on the booties - they 
love seeing them.  Many have commented about how good a dog owner I am to 
consider my dog's comfort on the hot blacktop.  they think they are so cute, 
too.

Lyn and Landon
