Want a good laugh?

Go buy your dog a pair of shoes. When Josh took Harley and Mator hunting last year they were in heaven, but did not like the snow on their feet too much. Harley more so than Mator and his big ol' bear paws. While we were at Sportsmans Warehouse today we picked up a pair of booties that are for hunting dogs. i.e.-bird dogs so they dont cut their feet from rocks and they don't get frost bite, etc. I guessed on the size and off we went to try them out. When we got home I charged the camera so we could document the occasion. Harley was pretty cooperative getting them put on since he was sitting in joshs lap. Once they were on and his feet hit the floor it was chaos, and I have never laughed so hard in my life. I have never seen a dog run like he was, it was almost like a galloping horse but with feet flying out to the sides, under, over, anywhere they could go. I could hardly take the video because i was laughing so hard. When it came time for Mators turn, he just stood there for a minute and when we ran in the other room he came along doing the same thing Harley was, but he was in love! He absolutely loves the booties, when he went outside he was funny streaking to the mailbox and back and forth, jumping on us and what not. again I couldn't stop laughing. It's almost like he thinks he can run faster when the shoes grip the floor rather than sliding on the tile like he does. good lord, that made my day. Not only do I dress up my dogs but now they have shoes, and life jackets, wonder what I can think of next...
