SnowPont

Over the weekend, we finally began getting some accumulating snow around here.  Delightful for me, I love the snow!  Maybe not as delightful for DuPont, as he really doesn't have any fur, at least nothing that's going to keep him warm. 

I ordered a fleece 'Snood' for him (more on that some other time) and inquired with my hairless dog friends where I could get a decent coat for him.  I had a passing though about something for his feet, but assumed that he was manly enough to handle some snow on his tootsies. 

My assumption was incorrect. 

Yesterday I bundled him up in an old sweatshirt that was too small for me and tied it around his waist with a leash, and tried going for a short walk.  Cold or not, buddy, you have to go outside.

After appx 14.8 seconds in the snow, DuPont began walking around like Chihuahua Ice Queen.  His feet won't tolerate the snow after all.  So much for my manly man. 

Booties it is!

I promise, I will do my best to get video of his first bootie experience.  But if he reacts the way I think he will, I'll need one hand on his leash and one hand on my treats and one hand on my clicker.  I'll have to try and grow another hand to shoot some video.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this shot of mooshy adorableness.
