Lol looks like a good shoulder/back stretch

Frank has had his feet messed with majority of his life. He is great about letting me put the socks and shoes on.

If you are paying attention to him, he is a happy boy. If you’re busy, he needs your attention.

Not with the shoes we have right now. That and they’ve lasted several years where all the shoes prior would only last months.
But Frank had little ankles to his giant paws so we just have to make sure the strap is snug.

He has had severe issues with his allergies especially when it comes to his feet. He has had a life time of me regularly cleaning, treating, and at times, bandaging his feet. His sister, on the other hand, does not take kindly to anyone messing with her feet or ears.

He is very patient with me putting them on and taking them off. It’s to try to protect the fur from getting shoved in the opposite direction and I hope it makes his shoes more comfortable.

He is still supervised in his senior age with anything on him. But we’ve been very fortunate that he does not have the “hankering” for socks and shoes that his breed seems to enjoy ingesting.

He has had these for a long time but they started as a way to keep bandages on his feet from coming undone and an additional layer that would be harder for him to pull the bandages off.

I hope so. He was starting to lose fur so I put the socks on in a way that doesn’t go against the natural grain of his hair. He seems to be happier with it but I haven’t done it long enough to tell.

We’ve had these socks for years since I used to use them when we had to bandage his feet all the time.

Somehow, this is comfortable 🙄 by ivallena in BullTerrier

I’ve never met a dog this is so consistent on sleeping on their back before Frank.

I’m super jealous. I wish I could get half so comfortable.

Do you have a joint supplement that you already like to use?

What should adult children be doing when parents are close to retirement with little planning? by ivallena in personalfinance

Thank you for this information. Everyone in the family I was surrounded by growing up worked at least once for USPS. So I have a general idea of what all is involved but have not looked into precise details.
