My paws are hurting!

I love, love, love the snow. But it's been really snowy today and this is what my back left paw looked like when I was at the top of Blackford Hill. (see extras) And all my other paws looked like this too.



I had my 'afternoon walk in the morning' (because Ann went out for lunch this afternoon) but I had to keep stopping to pull bits of ice out of my front paws and Ann had to keep stopping to pull bits of ice out of my back paws.



Getting snowballs of ice in my paws is really, really painful.



My very lovely owner, Ann, has never, ever wanted to dress me in clothes because I'm a rufty, tufty little collie but apparently she's going to buy me some little doggie snow boots for next winter.



Yay! I'll be able to enjoy the snow without my paws hurting!!!
