How nice is it outside?

Don’t answer that.  I know how nice it is.  40 is the new 80.  It’s warmer today than it has been in the last six months.  I love the sun-shine too.  I love it so much I went outside to sit in it.  I also took my dog for a walk.  I have had to put some sort of foot protection on my dog as she skids all over the sidewalk chasing her ball, but she wore out her predecessors old shoes.  So I thought I would try a new strategy.

I put tiny kid socks on her feet along with some self-sticking fist aid tape.  It didn’t last long.  The first one fell off in about two minutes.  After about five minutes she only had one left.  She put a fast hole in it and dragged it around the puddles for about half hour.

This is what one of the socks looks like in the middle of the sidewalk.

Look how toe-up it gots!

Ziggy the pitt-bull, one sock on, three socks off.

She looks funny and her poor lil feet bled anyway.  I guess we need to find some better dog shoes, but it sure was nice to be outside.
