Getting ready for our next big adventure...


This weekend we are going on an adventure... we purchased snow shoes for the whole family and are going for a 4 mile snowshoe in Yosemite. We know that all the human members of our family can handle this trek but were worried about the dog. She has the endurance and fitness level to be able to make the 4 miles but we were concerned about her feet getting to cold or frostbitten from hours in the snow....so after much research, we decided she needed booties. This is a pic of us trying on her new booties! She is such a trooper and didn't fuss at all about us strapping them on her feet. But when she first started walking in them, it was hysterical -- it was like she was walking in sticky stuff and was pulling her feet up to her ears! She wore them for a couple hours around the house and sounded like a horse clopping around. I am sure we will have lots of good stories to blog next week!
