Disclaimer: For all you non dog lovers out there you probably aren't going to understand this post. After seeing Hannah's post about getting her dogs prepared for the winter I started thinking I should do the same. I've been told that the salt/ice can really hurt their paw pads. Do I really need to get Bailey dog boots and a jacket/sweater?? I keep getting mixed reviews from people. I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I am concerned about Baileys exercise or lack of once we move. He is used to getting TONS of exercise. If he doesn't get to run he becomes a very annoying dog. Lets be honest, I don't know how often I am going to be willing to stand in the freezing cold to throw his ball. My mom recently discovered Chuckit! Indoor Fetch Toy. I should probably invest in this. 
I've already checked and Columbus does have a dog park. But again, that involves me being in the cold for long periods of time...Suggestions/tips appreciated.

Maybe doggie boots? He isn't a small dog so I don't know if he would need a coat...now I'm wondering about Zoe and if I should get her a coat for when we are up north for Christmas. She's so skinny maybe she'd be cold?
ReplyDeleteA yard! Our Dalmatian LOVED playing in the snow and would run circles in the yard catching snowflakes in his mouth.
