[NAGDU] These Boots were made for Walkin'...?

[Daryl Lang]

Hello, Kate from Ontario! I am in Alberta, so we do have pet value. I might look into them, but I wonder if Jenny's feet just aren't conducive to wearing boots. I mushers doesn't seem to work for us, either I'm doing it wrong, or she just wants to lick the stuff off! got the sock idea because I bought a pair of socks for her, and she doesn't seem to mind them, but they do slide off. Also, the reinforced bottom of the socks sounds like horses hooves. It's really amusing. So, I figure we can use the warmth of the socks and the waterproofing of the paws boots. Here's hoping, right?
