    Haha, lucky. I love the snow, but I really hate the cold! I would really love to go lay on a beach somewhere right about now. It's -35 celsius tonight with the windchill.. BRR! Our walk was cut short tonight because we still haven't bought booties for Mickey's poor paws.

    I trim Wilbur's to keep it from matting up, Star's stays so short she doesn't need it, but I chcck it anyways. I hadn't thought if it as a solution to slipping on floors, so maybe I'll try it.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Yes, Autumn's. It gets matted up between her toes and she also gets balls of fur stuck between her toes.

    Yes, I can't stand the appearance of fuzzy feet! It also helps a lot on the tile floor though and in the snow.

    No, never. Huskies have alot of fur on the undersides of their paws, it helps them have better traction across ice.

    I've just started trimming Josie's. Zeke's fur is never long enough to cut (do younger dog's fur not grow? or is it a breed thing?)

    Jo's fur was really long..so I cut it 2 weeks ago..ish. And it's already growing out! I never even thought about it much till I went to Amy's...haha! Nebo is SO perfect..like nails, fur, teeth.... so inspiring.

    I keeps Happys feet trimmed both for neatness and to prevent snowballs, I occaionally trim Blairs feet, but it looks weird on him because the hair all down his legs is all long and shaggy, so long and shaggy right down to his feet where it suddenly gets short and neat.. well that just looks weird lol I trim shadows as well but mainly beucuse it I dont she looks like an elf, the hair gets so long and splays out like a star and makes her look like she has 8 extra toes lol Ripley, Perky, and Mistys feet are short enugh as it is, there is nothing that CAN be trimmed lol
