Great to hear! I’ve been worried about him ever since you listed him as MIA.

A cat story I saw on tumblr. A very big cat, with unusual dietary needs!

I managed to wrangle Boone into rubber balloon boots; the salt on Toronto streets is really punishing on their paws. He’s also fine with a winter coat. I’ve never had to put a winter coat on a dog before, but he was starting to shiver last week when it got down to about -10 C (14 F), and today it’s down to -16 C (3.2 F). This is his first full Canadian winter; he rolled into Ontario at the tail end of winter earlier this year.
ETA; another dog grabbed Boone’s full poop bag and played keep away with his owner and me. Fortunately, the bag was still intact when he finally got bored and dropped it.

Har har! He doesn’t fetch, sadly. My previous dog, a Kelpie/Cattle Dog cross was obsessed with fetch. This one will chase a ball, but then run off without even picking it up.

Try mushers’ wax on the paws.

Dog tip — before putting his boots on, wrap his ankles in Coban or something similar. I’ve found this is helpful for all types of dog boots. It gives the boot something to hold onto, and prevents you from accidentally pulling his fur.

Thanks for the suggestion

I do have some around; I’ll give it a try. He seemed fine once they were on, and they stayed on; I thought they might come off while he romped around the park, but they stayed put.
