Walle is ready for winter
Walle is ready for winter. You will notice that those are not boots on his feet, but simple rubber balloons with the tops cut. We found this was easier to put on than boots and a lot less expensive. If you lose a boot you usually have to replace it by buying a new set of boots. If you lose a rubber balloon, big deal you just replace the one you lost. Try it and see. It works for us.

Walle looks like he has settled in very nicely.
 The balloons are ingenious!!

What a really clever idea, garyb. I love the way the balloons match his dog coat too. I can see myself copying this next Winter for my shelties. I'll have to buy a lot of balloons I think. Now, what colour would suit a gold sable sheltie ?? LOL.

Very cute pic. Just curious though about the balloons. How do you keep them on? I'm hoping you don't use elastics.
 The balloons are a very good idea though.

Like "Paws" boots balloons should just kind of stick to the fur and hold themselves in place. I use Paws on Leo over fleece boots to keep out the cold and wet on longer walks... waiting for nice weather again. Slush is so annoying especially for doggies 8 inches off the ground!

Clever solution to a wintry problem
Be very careful of the balloons, though--dogs have been known to strangle or get blockages from eating balloons. So make sure you have them all accounted for at all times!

Today I finally bought some balloons for Mindy, but I'm a bit slow and am not sure what u mean by cutting off the top? U mean the "neck" part right? I tried a few different ways. Some were too tight and others not so bad. They did seem to work pretty good as she wasn't lifting her feet as much as she use too.
I first thought I had to cut off where the nails would be too.  Yeah yeah I know...like I said I'm a bit slow.
