Quinn's new boots

Attention! Especially for the ladies!!

Go pee now. Before you hit play.

Just trust me.



OK, this is probably the most horrible quality video you'll see on YouTube. It is my little dog's new boots and her second time ever wearing them. She is not terribly thrilled with them.

Of course there is a legitimate reason why we have these boots for this little dog. Her feet have been through an awful lot. For the first year of her life, Quinn was in a puppy mill. Her feet never touched the ground, only the wire cage in which she lived. When the mill was raided and she was rescued, her feet were swollen to nearly three times their normal size and she could hardly walk on them. After months with a holistic vet and tender treatment in foster care and with us, her feet are still sensitive. So much so that she could not walk for just five minutes yesterday in a snowy parking lot. Her little feet hurt so badly that she just laid down on her side in the parking lot and tucked her feet up so they didn't touch the snow. It nearly broke my heart. So today we took some of our Christmas money and bought her some boots to protect her little feet.

That's me on the right in the black jeans and work boots. L is the one running the camera and laughing like a lunatic. Enjoy.
