We have to watch Tips playtime...she obsesses and will run around that pool until she tears the pads right off her feet..she has done it twice before. She managed to tear two out of four this time. She was gimpy for a couple of days but is recovering. The first time it happened, we didnt know it would happen. Afterwards I had to keep antibiotic ointment on her feet, wrap her feet in gauze and I would strap baby socks on her feet for cushioning! She hated it and would always try to pull the socks off, but it worked til she could stand without it hurting so much. That is a border collie for you, they never never ever stop, they just keep on no matter what.

Oh Poor Tips. Glad you know what to do. He's going to go around till his feet fall off I'm afraid. I've never known of a dog going till they destroy their pads like that. How awful. Talk about OCD!

Poor Tip, sorry that she hurt her feet. Helen
Looks like everyone is having a lot of fun in the pool ~ Poor Tip hope his paws are OK now ~ Ally x
Wow, she goes crazy....she should jump in & cool off. I can't imagine how bad her feet must have hurt. How cute she had baby socks on.

I have a little chihuahua that will jump on the float with you run to the other side then jump off. But only if there isn't a bunch of splashing.
Tips needs some of those swim shoes, I wonder if they make them for dogs!
Tommy's toes were bleeding from our pool the other day, "Nina, my toes have ketchup coming out of them!" I just laughed.
