Buddy in his Booties

December 4th, 2008

Here’s the first pic of the season of Buddy in his winter booties and as you can see he is ignoring me because he’s mad that he is wearing booties. LOL. First he tried kicking them off in the yard then he resorted to trying to chew them off before he got in trouble from his mommy. It’s pretty cold here and his little paw-paws are starting to get cold. He holds them up in the air and limps around the yard so that means it’s time for the dreaded booties. I’ll probably post more through the winter if I can get some cuter ones. Isn’t he adorable!

    Bailey would react the same way to the booties. What a cute pic. Made me laugh!

  3. Lynne says:

    He looks cute!

    We used to have a dog named Ginger. We got her a red sweater one winter. Dom said she looked like a stuffed sausage in it. She was so upset by what he said that she wouldn’t come into the front yard at all when she was wearing it. But if she had her green sweater on, she’d be all over the front yard.

    Oh my gosh, Buddy is adorable in his booties. I don’t think my dog would tolerate them. When we put a sweater on her, she walks sideways and hangs her head down, so we’ve just given up on it.

    Dar, if you havent already shipped out my book, will you please sign it with your name? i like little Personalized things like that!

  6. Joy says:

    Yep! He’s adorable. :)

  7. Keyomi says:

    and OH MY…i love those booties!!! how cute buddy looks!!

  8. Toni says:

    OMG…. BUDDY is so adorable… yes…. keep posting pics… oh my stars he is really giving you the “I am not looking at you face.” …. it isn’t cold enough here for booties… but it sure would be cute to try them on Puppy Dexter.

  9. Nymeth says:

    That picture is so cute. It put a big smile on my face. Thanks for sharing it with us, Dar.

  10. Ti says:

    Poor Buddy. Just like a kid. He looks cute though.

  11. Serena says:

    poor little guy! LOL but he’s adorable. we’re off to the vet with charlee today!

  12. Janel says:

    Awww, so cute! Maybe he’d like them more if you knitted a pair of booties for him, mom.

    Cooper is romping in the woods with the hubby and kids right now, no booties needed yet for my snow bug.

  13. Wanda says:

    Ahhh…they look like little tiny Santa sacks. Too cute. :)

  14. wendy says:

    Hee hee hee, that is so funny! Do you put little sweaters on him too? My friend has a santa hat for her dog.

  15. Alyce says:

    That is so adorable. I can just picture him high-stepping to try to get them off.

    We tried putting Christmas antlers on our yellow lab once and that’s the closest we’ve come to an outfit. Mostly because the antlers stayed on for about 5 seconds. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about booties; it never gets that cold here.

  16. Marvin D. Wilson says:

    No. The booties? No. That’s wrong. Sorry.

  17. Shana says:

    OMG Dar – he’s adorable! I love the booties!!!

    That is the cutest thing ever!! I was actually thinking about Buddy the other day (can’t remember why–but your comment about him loving the snow was stuck in my head), and I thought to myself–Dar really needs to post a picture of him soon.

    Too adorable. And I love that he’s a little upset with you–Maggie would do the same thing!! Aren’t animals the greatest??

  19. Veens says:

    wowwwww! wow!!! awwwwwwwww!

    how very cute! I was showing this to mom… she was like our girl, would rip them out for sure! :D

  20. Literary Feline says:

    So cute! I saw a set of booties in the store tonight while shopping for Christmas presents for the furkids. I thought about getting them for my dog, but I know he’d have them off so fast it wouldn’t be worth it.

  21. Bandit Jack says:

    Hey dar! I do look like your puppy! When my mom rescued me they told her that i was a pomeranian/shih-tzu mix. But my trainer thinks that I am a poodle/bichon mix. my mom did some research and she thinks that mix looks most like me too. i'm very proud because poodles are known for being extra smart!! hope you liked my blog & hope to talk to you soon.

    Lezlie, Mary, Joy, Shana :)

    Lynne, dogs are like that. I always tell Buddy he looks like a little man. He’s got such an ego.

    Kathy, Buddy really didn’t like them at first but he got used to them eventually. Even now he’ll growl at them.

    Keyomi, I will sign the book for you :)

    Toni, I bet Dex would look adorable in booties.

    Nymeth, I’m glad I could make you smile.

    Ti, he’s a handful like a kid. He’s constantly on the go.

    Serena, I hope Charlee is ok and it’s only a checkup.

    Janel, nope don’t think he’d like that any better. These are good because they have velcro and can stick around his scrawny legs. lol.

    Wanda, that’s why I like the red ones on him. He has black ones and blue ones too.

    Wendy, he does have a sweater but I only put that on him when it gets really, really cold here. Otherwise I never dress him up-he’s not a dress up kind of dog and I’m not a person who likes to dress up the dog.

    Alyce, antlers would be a no-no. Once at the groomers they put a bow in his hair and he had a fit. Another time a bandana which he worked on till he got off. I sure wish it stayed that warm here.

    Marvin-lol. We have no choice here. Yesterday was 20 below in your temps and it gets much colder than that. Dogs can’t go without something on their paws here.

    Trish, yes they are. They can bring a smile to your face even when you don’t feel like smiling. Buddy loves the snow which is good since we got more yesterday.

    Veens, lol-he does manage to pull them off sometimes. He picks when it’s coldest out too.

    Wendy-Literary Feline-I wish we didn’t have to have them on him either. I think they’re cute but I don’t ever dress my dog up. It’s just that it gets too cold here to do anything else. He’s gotten used to them over the years.

    Bandit-Buddy is a pomeranian poodle mix-called a pomapoo. I should find a pic from when he was the same age as you and post it. You looked exactly the same. I’ll be back to your blog as it’s like reliving Buddy’s being a baby.

  23. Jo-Jo says:

    Oh my gosh…that is adorable! I really need to get some pics of my dogs posted.

  24. Joanne says:

    So so adorable! I’ve never heard of a Pomapoo, but he is a very handsome dog, his fur looks so gorgeous.

    I wish my pups would wear the booties, but after last year I’ve given up – we would go for hikes and end up spending half the time searching for boots they’ve kicked off or rubbed of on bushes :P

    oh my gosh, that is soooo adorable!!!
    he’s just too cute!

    Oh Dar, I love those booties! he looks so cute. Oliver doesn’t allow me to put booties on his paws, he walks funny, liftng his legs high, it is hilarious.

    Can I add Buddy to “Oliver’s friends” ?

  27. Bree says:

    Can he get any cuter? Seriously, how adorable are those booties!!!

  28. Laura says:

    How cute! If only he could understand that the booties are for his own good! :)

  29. Shooting Stars Mag says:

    Aw, poor little thing!! That’s so cute though. My dog would FREAK OUT if we tried to put those on her…she doesn’t really mind the snow though.

    Hi Dar,
    I added Buddy to my “Oliver’s Friends” at the top of my blog.

  31. Dar says:

    Jo-Jo, I’d love to see some pics of your dogs!

    Joanne, his fur is really soft. When it gets longer than it is right now it’s even softer. I’ll have to take a pic of him then-he looks like a baby bear.

    Naida, thanks:)

    Madelaine, Buddy would love to be one of Oliver’s friends. Buddy had no choice but to eventually get used to the booties. Everyone here has their dogs in booties if they have to be outside any length of time. It’s that or frostbite and I would never do that to my baby.

    Bree, he knows he’s cute too. He works it on a daily basis. lol.

    Laura, exactly. That goes for most things in his life though. For a dog, he’s hugely opinionated. lol.

    Lauren, when it’s warm here he goes in the snow without the booties. He loves it. Only when the temps dip does he have to wear the booties. It’s been cool the last few days but warm enough to go bootiless. lol.

  32. literatehousewife says:

    Don’t dogs and children act alike? I love how he is ignoring you. Perfect. And, he does look cute. If only he knew that sometimes it hurts to be beautiful. :)

  33. Ladytink_534 says:

    I got some for my mom’s dog for Christmas. Lol they’re just SO cute!

  34. Amy says:

    OMG – he is too cute!

  35. Red lady-Bonnie says:

    I LOVED this picture!!!! He is such a cutie with the booties!!
    Definitely post more pics of Buddy!!

  36. J. Kaye Oldner says:

    Oh my gosh! That is the sweetest of photos!

  37. Dar says:

    Sam, thanks.

    Lit Housewife-sometimes I think dogs may be worse than kids because they never grow up. lol.

    Tink, how cute.

    Amy, thanks and he knows it too.

    Bonnie, I will post more with Buddy. I’ll have to get him to post with a book maybe. lol.

    J.Kaye, thanks. It’s nice to see you back :)

  38. Anna says:

    Anna, thanks :)

  40. dawn says:

    OMG – adorable! I like the pic with his head turned, we can see more of his face (even if he is ignoring you!)

    Keep warm :)

  41. Dar says:

    Dawn, thanks. I have to remember to take a pic of him when I cut his hair. You can really see his expressions then. For now, lucky him, it’s too cold for a haircut. lol.
