Bailey has needs too...

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.

  1. 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?

  2. A yard! Our Dalmatian LOVED playing in the snow and would run circles in the yard catching snowflakes in his mouth.

  3. A big doggie day care facility a few times a week!
