Doggie Socks!


As many of you know, Chloe is the amazing wonder dog. Kind of like a Timex watch...she keeps on ticking, or the Energizer Bunny...she keeps going and going. Well, even amazing wonder dogs need help sometimes.

In this case, help is in the form of mobility socks. Chloe tore a ligament her one of her back legs about a month ago and surgery to fix it is not an option due to her age. Despite measures to "old doggie proof" the house (i.e. carpeting the hardwoods in ugly, inexpensive area rugs and using a baby gate to keep her off the stairs during the day) she would still loose her footing on occasion. So my friend google and I looked around...voila, mobility socks. They look a bit ridiculous, but she doesn't seem to mind them and they really help stabilize her back legs. http://www.wizardofpaws.net/pages/store.htm (scroll down to the mobility socks)

I'm happy to report that Mike and Chloe can one again engage in their favorite game of running in circles around the downstairs.
