Pepper's snow boots.  by jantan

Pepper's snow boots.

We woke up to about 3 inches of snow this morning. Graham took the dogs out for a 7 mile walk and had to stop several times to get the snowballs off Pepper's legs because he was finding it difficult to move. This is what he looked like when he got home.

I got quite a bit more carving done on my linoprint plate, so that should be ready for the first colour to be printed tomorrow.
He looks like he has snowboots@

My boys hate it when they get snow balls on their feet especially between the pads which is painful. I have to keep stopping to get the icy snow off. Pepper looks cute but I think the snow might hurt his feet.

@pamknowler don't worry Pam. If there had been any hint that he was in discomfort the walk would have been curtailed.

Well that is such a funny sight...never seen snow stick like that on a dogs legs. Perhaps be the type of fur he has...

@beryl I put him in a sink of very slightly warm water straight after this shot. It was gone in seconds.

@happypat yes it is the fur Pat it's like very soft wool. I have seen sheep with snowballs round their faces from rooting for grass beneath the snow.

@jantan That’s what made me think it might be the wool, Pepper's hair looks a little like sheep’s wool. I faved your lovely sheep photo....2013!!!

He doesn't look bothered at all - maybe he needs some cute boots (LOL)

7 miles in snow! More adventuresome than I am! Those cold little paws make me shiver!

I remember Monty getting these and it’s time consuming getting them off again. Amazing they’re confined to his legs - he’s obviously not a snow roller!

Good job he didn’t run any deeper in it!
Seems very unbothered by his cold boots

@judithg @lucycameron no he doesn't roll. And they're not in contact with his skin. I clip our dogs and cut the hair between their pads so it doesn't build up there. He's a hardy little chap this one.

I remember pics of Monty with them. Bless his little heart!

Oh goodness! Pepper probably liked being in the snow though.

There is gonna be a puddle soon! Great shot.

Amazing to see how the snow has clung to Pepper's feet
