Pug in Boots


Not so much.

Jade can't walk much in the snow because the salt hurts her paws and her paws get cold, so my thoughts were to put her in some booties so she could still get some exercise.
Two booties on the front happened, but still the back feet came up off the ground after half a block in zero weather.  Limping pug.
Two booties on the back was obviously going to repeat the same scenario.
Four booties.  No movement.  Frozen still, concrete pug.
Even after being brought inside and lured with treats.  No movement.  Refusal.
She wins, this year.  Next year, the boots will be accepted!  I will not be deterred!

(Oh, and how about that cute coat with the star on it?  Total North Star tie in there, and she rocks it!  Thank goodness she doesn't seem to mind it.)

Poor Pug - it's your duty to toughen her up (easy to say coming from an owner of norsk breeds). Cute coat though. She needs stars on her booties now. Can't wait to meet her!

Jade is SO CUTE! My dog wears fleece booties because he gets little balls of snow that hurt his paws. He accepted them..someday Jade will, too!

It's amazing how strong they are, isn't it? LOL about the "concrete pug!"

OMG How darling is she with those boots on. I loved meeting her at D's house right after you got it. Seems like she's loving her new home!
