When the weather turns cool (it gets a degree above freezing during the night), my cracked-paw thing comes up. The pads in my feet get cracks and I start limping. They put “Bag Balm” which is used for cow udders in my affected paw and put a stocking over it and wrap it in a “bootie”. This makes me look ridiculous, but at least I can walk around without limping too much but I’m not going to enter any marathons. In the summer it goes away. The first one of the season is on my hind left right now. I’m waiting for warmer weather-like the middle of February-and it will go away.
The worst part of it is that They call me “Klompie”. They sure know how to hurt a girl.
That’s all for now. “Klompie”, my foot.
Hi, Klompie. hehehe.
Not you, too. You’ve joined the dark side.
OMD! You poor thing. Klompie, I’m sure you’ll gets use to it by the ends of next month! BOL I’m sorry gurl, I should be more ‘sensitive’ to your predictament. At least your peeps didn’t like post pics to the interwebs about it…..oh, sorry…
Okays, seriously, I hopes your paws make it through the cold weathers!
Kisses,
Ruby
I can’t wait until it’s a little warmer. My feet make it through but my dignity doesn’t.
Cool…. you’re wearing Arctic booties! I see an Iditarod run in your future? Wear them with pride.
Wags,
Ranger
I guess I could pretend that I’m “special” because of the booties.
Maybe you should get them in Red. Everything is better in Red.
Bummer, hope you feel better soon!
Thanks. Not having the mobility I’m used to is bad. It will go away.
I think your foot looks just fine. I like the bootie and think it’s good of you to keep it on and not try and get it off so your paw heals. Poor girl. Give them the sad eyes and get yourself some extra treats.

I’m the champ at suckering extra treats. Today, I’m running the world out of frozen green beans.
Why you must have very sensitive paws, thank goodness you don’t live in the artic. Even if you have to wear booties I still think you look fashionable.
Sweet William The Scot
Thank goodness They didn’t get me high-heels.
*BOL* Kaci you are funny…and brave!
Well Kyla…if I weren’t woo-ing Finn we could make quite the interesting couple at the Mayor’s ball with my shaved snout and your stockinged paw.
Wally (& Sammy)
It sounds more like the Monster Ball for Halloween.
Those Humoms are so cruel, just remember sticks and stones, may break my bones but names will never hurt me! Roll on the warmer weather 🙂 xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
Pe-es Kaci,you better watch it..BOL x
You tell her, Mollie and also tell her that if she doesn’t stop, you’ll send Alfie over to take care of her.
You poor thing – that sounds just horrible and then they go giving you silly nicknames – tut tut to them.
You’re right. What did I ever do to Them?
I hope we will have middle of februar soon and you are well again. That’s not nice of your humans… for me you are always the beautiful Scotty-Lady, no matter if you wear a bootie – you are a beauty.
**Blush**
Well, Klompie, you and my peep are one in the same. She’s got Bag Balm on Her hands right now!!!! Who knew?
Oh you poor thing! but you wear the booties well:-)
Plus I bet that She wears booties when She goes out in public.
i have to do that in early fall because i lick my paw-paws till they are raw. sigh.
edgar
I lick mine also, but this is something else. We’d be the footwear twins.
So, sorry for being late, Dad made us quit early yesterday. So you getting ready for the “Bootie” call.
Your Pals
Susie & bites
Shake your bootie has a new meaning.
Poor fella.
Retaliation, that’s my advise, show them who is the boss.
OK-I’ll show Them. I’ll go on a hunger strike. Wait, what am I saying?
Ow! That sounds very painful and not much fun. I’ve had a problem in the past where my toenails have fallen out which was painful, but they didn’t put me in booties. I agree with the red comment, or you could go black, very slimming and from a distance – who’d know?
It looks…. cute?
