[nagdu] Snow snow and more snow

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

    Hi Mark, here in Salem, you need to be very careful if you need to go 
into the street.  Shubert and I find our way onto the streets 75% of the 
time but things are getting better nowadays.  We have been working with the 
Mayor's office to enforce sidewalk shoveling so those of us don't have to 
walk the streets so much.  A few years ago, most of us spent most of the 
time navigating all the streets.  No one was shoveling their side walks even 
a week after a storm.  The fine at one time was $25.00 but now, it is $100. 
Most figured that $25.00 was cheaper than paying the going price for someone 
to shovel.
Now, your street is not so wide correct? It must be very hard for you and 
your dog to find a clear spot to safely get through.  Are you having 
difficulty walking Lafayette St.?  Thank God for our Pups to help drag our 
butts around.
p.s. if navigating the street, be careful, the other day a car brushed up 
against my leg going by us.  Andy and Shubert

Hi all,
With all the snow that we got here in New England and more on the waydo any 
of you have tips forworking dogs in the snow. Sometimes the sidewalks are so 
narrow that the dog and I can't fit side-by-side also the salt really hurts 
his paws anti-constantly smells like wet dog

Thoughts on ways to protect his paws in eliminate the wet dog smell

Thanks,
Mark
