Before I show you said video, a little background. As you know, it's pretty cold up here. For some reason, we haven't had a lot of snow yet and so the sidewalks are covered with ice from the old snow that fell weeks ago. Ripley has not been the greatest fan of the ice and, the last couple of days, he refuses to stand outside with all four of his paws touching the ground. Ultimately we decided it was time to pick him up some shoes.
Because I know my dog, I bought the cheapest ones I could find because Ripley hates anything weird happening to his feet. I would say that these four booties were the best $12 I ever spent. Not only because they keep his feet warm, but because of the amazing comic relief they provide.
With that, I leave you with the best video in the world. In the background you will hear me laughing uncontrollably because this is the only response to Ripley walking in his new shoes. Andy is obviously a better parent to Ripley because he proclaims it to be the "saddest thing ever" while I continue to laugh.
The video is a little dark and small - watching it in full screen helps a little. Next weekend I'll take a video with our fancy camera instead of the phone and see if that's any better. I need more of this on video anyway.
To further shame Ripley, here's how he looks in his walking gear. He's so embarrassed he won't even look at the camera.
In non-dog shaming news, we got the rest of our stuff from Oregon on Wednesday!! We're ALL happy that the king bed is in place, especially Zeus:
For some context, that is a queen mattress sitting along the wall balanced on the head, not the side, which is why she's only about a foot from the ceiling.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
