Cali's New Winter Dog Boots for Snow and Ice

Description

#snow #dog #winter

We finally found winter dog boots for Cali, our Golden Retriever, that stay on and that she doesn't mind wearing in the deep snow and ice to keep her feet from freezing and gathering snow clumps.

Video Transcription

so those boots that I mentioned in a couple of a couple of weeks ago or a couple of videos ago finally arrived in the mail she thinks she's excited about them cuz she thinks they're for her nose are for her which is not gonna be excited to put them on hey Kelly he said yeah you kiss them first cuz you're gonna be your friends nope sit Kelly sit hey pay attention yep you Paul no no it's okay good girl yeah Joey sit good girl not so bad your comfortable shoes scary Paul she's not bad with the front paws like just touching them like try to trim the hair but she does not like anybody touching his backbone so we'll see you when we get to them they look pretty you lie down you light now no no go over here Kelly yeah yeah down good girl right down good girl no race no breakdown Callie hey yeah look at me down good those are nice shoes I know I know you don't let your back boss hey it's okay it's okay it's okay

we ordered these from a company that actually makes them for sled dogs for the that were used in the up they use them in the Iditarod and some of the other big mushers races dog sled races so supposed to be supposed to be good we actually went to some dogs international dog sled races were in Canada two years ago two winters ago and we filmed all the dogs they're running and I can't remember now if any of them actually were wearing any shoes or boots somebody pointed out I think the right the problem with retrievers feet yesterday Webb did they spread it more than most dogs for swimming and of course as they come back together the snow really accumulates in there so not sure so that's why and along here but I don't want to trim too much here because that's what's giving their insulation as well Kelly come here pup straight inside okay well you're no fun at all dogs are supposed to prance all over the place first time I ever saw somebody put boots on a dog that's my sister 20 years ago 25 years ago they had a Dalmatian and we were visiting them her and her boyfriend in their apartment and put these boots on and the dog was flailing up lying all over the apartment falling down just look look like Bambi on the ice it's hilarious and she was kind of like that last year when we tried a different pair on her but she seems to like these ones so if they stay on I think we might have a solution but we'll see how much snow one ice actually gets inside the boot that's what I'm concerned around but she doesn't mind them about taking the try better test day you wanna go fetch in the snow let's see if I can get them tight uh-huh your foot in here okay she must actually like them because she does not like me touching her feet so that one came off I probably didn't have it tight enough these are two dollars how much we paid for them so I guess if you lose them you're not a much money you have to keep putting new ones on but to trade off like everything but I certainly don't want to pull loot the property with little boots all over the place

Kelly you've been very good about this wonder

wonder outtake you're supposed to put them why do you been so good tell you're just being a weird [Music]
