A question for Glacier

[Cinder & Smoke]

It's a thick waxy cream that you put on the dog's paws before they out in the snow.

Mushers use it to prevent snowballs while the dogs are working.

And they Leave it Alone on their paws??

Even though Bipp & Bopp have had snowballs and ice buildups between their pads
requiring dear ole Dad to "hold paws" to warm them up -
I'd imagine their reaction to Paw Wax or Vaseline would be something like >>>


What's this goo that Dad smeared on our feets?
Then we'd have a 30 minute sit-down strike whilst they >>>
<lick> <Lick> <LICK> <Licked> every trace of it off each paw!

And they Leave it Alone on their paws??

Mostly, I usually wait to put on til they are in harness and almost ready to go. That way they are focused on getting to run and don't really care about what I've just done to their paws!

[Cinder & Smoke]

... they are focused ...

Ohhhhhhhh ...

FOCUSED?? ... Ya gotta be kidding!

That sure leaves Bipp & Bopp out of the loop ...
"focused" would be considered a foreigh term to them.

They'd be *focused* on <LICKIN> Paw #1 whilst I was trying to pick up Paw #2 ...

Too bad they don't build POCKETS into their Fur Coats!

What a great read this thread is - thanks for asking all of the questions - and Glacier - for answering them.

I would hate to be a dumb burglar that tried to get into your house at night - what a surprise!!

LOL! They've stood Stuart down a couple times when he's come home unexpectedly. He came in late one night in a big coat, heavy boots and a hat. Chum stood over top of me and made the most menancing sounds I've ever heard from that dog. I wouldn't have pushed him. A couple others went behind him and just stared. Freaky! They didn't relax until he had taken off all his winter gear and talked to them. Chum took a long time to let his guard back down. I don't worry much about my physical safety when Stuart is away!

Glacier, is this a play bow?
They both look so content, and Milo's position looks a little like a cat stretch.

[Glacier]

Yup, pretty much. Milo was trying to get Tehya to get up and play with him again.


This Raven playbowing at me. She wants to play "Get Raven"...I chase her, she runs in circles. Really, it's fun!
