[nagdu] Heat!

Thu Jun 21 22:20:48 UTC 2012

I got my first three dogs at GDB, my last one in 2001.  They didn't issue the 
booties at the time, but told you where to buy them.  Have they started giving 
them to the students now?
I got my last dog a female GSD at TSE a year ago last March and  yes TSE does 
give their students a set of booties and they let you work your dog with them 
on while your at school.  It's so funny to watch them trying to walk in them 
bull legged and pigeon toed at the same time...<hahahahaha>  Poor babies...
