Eight below

    Folks have mentioned before how their dogs will watch TV, well …
    Last night I was watching Eight Below (for those who haven't seen it, it's a disney-style movie about expedition sled dogs) and of course EL D would sit and watch as long as the sled dogs were visible or barking. When the storyline changed and the dogs were on their own and would bark to each other to work out their problem, EL D laid down, and pretty soon he would turn and look at me (a couple times) with this really sad look on his face. And then when one of the dogs die, EL D gave me one more sad look and curled up in the couch corner as far under his blanket as he could get. Seeing EL D respond like that made me even more sad than the movie plot did. When the rescue comes at the end I made sure to clap and yay so EL D might get the message. I have to admit I felt sheepish but who knows - these dogs are intelligent!

    Sahara loves the movie Eight Below, she watches the dogs barking and pulling the sleigh, it is her favorite to watch.

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black
