I sure enjoy posts that bring a smile to my face. Sounds like you have a great relationship with your dog as I do.
I am a patient at Mayo Jacksonville. Regretfully I have a lot of medical issues and I am there almost every week and sometime couple of times as week. They have the therapy dogs walking around campus.
When I see them I immediately break out in a smile. There is one (think lab/doodle) that comes to a specific building I go to. The first time I met him he laid his head on my leg and would not move. His parent said he loves coming here and meeting people. When I see him now I always go over to him and tell his parent thanks for volunteering.
I bought our some booties for my dog to wear when we go to beach. You have to walk a long way to get to the wet sand and sand until then is really hot. He tolerates them but I wish he loved them like yours.
I have a Life is Good T-shirt that I wear a lot. On the back says "Dog Dad." Be surprised how many people at Mayo and around my community tell me "I love your t-shirt." I have to stop at first and then say "Oh you mean dog dad in back."

@jc76 Sadly, little Miah passed away the day before New Years. My granddaughter is encouraging me to get another. My acupuncturist is looking for me. She is a dog lover and knows the benefits of having a dog plus the challenges. Her's was attacked at doggie daycare. it was a new dog and the people didn't tell the daycare people he could be aggressive. I think the name of the doggie boots is OOZIES. They look like balloons and you use the container they come in, to put them on. My main criteria is that the dog is a rescue and lost its forever home. Oh and not too big. I do have a good sized backyard for a townhouse but I don't think it's fair to have a large dog in a small area--unless it's a Great Dane. They're the only large dog recommended for condos, etc. They are large couch potatoes. Have a great day--and keep walking!
