dog shoes

there is a squirrel living in the tree in my backyard that wants milo to die. every time my dog leaves the safety of my house to... umm... do his thing... every step he takes is closely followed by a falling acorn from above. milo has a barking problem.. especially when it comes to squirrels... but seriously... this little rodent hates my dog.

last night, i brought milo in from the backyard, and he was walking really strangely.. his right front paw was bothering him, but he wasn't limping on it like it hurt... he was just... very interesting in his own paw. he stretched it out and laid it flat on the ground. then he attempted to sniff it... but his leg is too long, so it turned into a funny little dance full of bowing and rolling.

mama jenna to the rescue. i picked him up to look at his paw, but couldn't figure what his problem was... then i looked at the bottom of his foot. wrapped perfectly around one of the pads on his paw was a broken acorn. it took a lot of prying to get to to come off. it was seriously the perfect fit. a shoe salesman would have been proud.

stupid squirrel.
