Hi Eivor and Pearl. Have fun in your snow! Snow is the best thing in the world. Since yesterday, our snow is melting. Martha says we’ll get more. I hope we do because snow is the meaning of life. Your friend, Polar Bear Yeti T. Dog

Xenia, this is a dumb question but do Eivor and Pearl were booties? My snow dogs have hair between their pads. I was just wondering how other dogs managed.

Hi Tracy, Eivor and Pearl have hair between their pads too and the pads themselves contain the highest concentration of insulating fat in their bodies. They don’t wear booties but they wear an organic paw balm so they can run and zoom through the snow without losing their grip 🙂🐾💖🐾 xxx

Thank you, Xenia. I don’t know the whippet breed well. That paw balm sounds like good stuff.
