Laramie and the Ice
1 Buying
1 booties
2 for a
3 dog was never
5 on my errands list. What
8 fresh insanity struck that day? I'd already lost
13 my sense of self when I bought her the purple coat and, later,
21 the pink sweater with three knitted flowers pearls in their centers, at the right shoulder. But booties? Booties cost $16.95 and
34 are a wonder of Velcro and black, water-resistant fiber. If only they'd stay on her feet. We usually leave with four and return with one on a paw and three in my pocket. Yet
55 she is a small dog in a winter of record cold and constant ice. She leaves the house with head held high and tail awhirl, but some days her clothes are not enough.When she shivers, I lift her, hold her tightly. She has her own legs and coat but she's small, the world frigid.
