This cold is NUTS, I tell ya... simply NUTS!!!! Right now it's ZERO at the lake downtown where the Mom is at work. And out by us, by Midway Airport, NOAA says it's currently FOUR DEGREES with a wind chill of MINUS ELEVEN!!!!! YOWZA!

Is it any wonder that I started picking my paws up high during our walk this afternoon? The Dad couldn't figure out why I was doing it. He checked my paws and found no snow or ice. He rubbed my paws on his pants leg (whatta guy) and we walked a bit more. I started picking my paws up high again. He checked again. Still no ice or snow.

NEWS FLASH, Dad: It's COLD!!! I was picking up my paws because they were COLD!!! Duoh!

The Mom is going to order us some Mushers Secret paw wax from the Drs. Foster & Smith's website. Many of our Dogster pals have used it with a lot of success. Hope it helps against the cold. I AM a delicate little diva, you know. ;D

Thanks for the great idea! My feet are very soft and smooth on the pads, and I pick my feet up when it's really cold and icy too. Mom's gonna order me some! Woo-hoo! Thank dog she's not going to try to put booties on me! :)
