Dogs need to protect their eyes just as much as you do, but given they don’t have opposable thumbs and rely on you to take care of their needs, it is up to you to help protect them.

Have you ever wanted something so bad, you were willing to do anything to get it? That was the case for Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman. In his touching book From Baghdad with Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava, Kopelman vividly tells his story of saving a stray pup, and eventually get him from Baghdad to the United States.

Muttluks Dog Booties
We just got a shipment of something brand spankin' new to BaxterBoo: Muttluks. We were impressed by how nice they looked in photos when we ordered them, and are even more impressed now that we just received a shipment in our warehouse.
From the Muttluks website:
"Since the company began in 1994," says Marianne Bertrand, President and founder of Muttluks Inc. "we have constantly developed and improved Muttluks to make a better product. Muttluks today are even better than when we started because we listen to the comments and suggestions from people who use and sell our products."
I must say, from the looks of our first shipment, they're a long way beyond other dog booties we've seen.
Muttluks Mean More Mountain Adventure
Being a Colorado native, I try to get in as many fourteeners (fourteen thousand foot peaks) as I can every summer. Often, I'll take my dog Dexter with me. We often meet dogs on the trail who are wearing dog boots, but I've never seen any that would fit Dexter's small feet.
I certainly see the need for dog shoes. 14ers are covered with sharp talus (broken rocks) from about treeline, all the way to the summit. After a few miles hiking on that, most dog's are at serious risk for injury. Dog booties can solve that problem, and not just on alpine hikes. They're great for walks anywhere, and can seriously help even on city sidewalks where sharp objects can cut into your dog's soft foot pads before you know it.
I'm going to try these new Muttluks out and see how they do. We also got some Muttluks dog snow coats (also pictured above), which I'm going to have to try Dexter out on for an early spring snow hike. If Dexter gives them his seal of approval, we'll carry the Muttluks fleece dog jackets (to complement our Fido Fleece line) and Muttluks rain coats too.
I'll keep you posted.
