We had a great walk

We had a great walk in Wallnut Creek Park on Saturday. When you're down in the shade of the trees, it actually does not feel too hot! We explored a section of the park where I've never been before and got to hike up the bed of one of the creeks.

Unfortunately the three hour hike was a bit too much for Homer and when we got home we discovered that he developed blisters on his paws and one of them is broken. So we got him neosporen and some dog boots so that he can still do his twice-a-day walk (and waste some energy and keep the back yard clean). The boots seem to do the trick, he runs without problems when they're on, but they have the tendency to come off (poor design, IMO).

Jennifer has been looking for some better ones online, and found this gem. Apparently there is a thriving dog-boot business out there (just try searching for "doog boot"). Bark'n'Boots seem like they might stay on better.
