[Mister]

The last two days or so Mister has been getting compliments left and right by strangers. Not because of his groom (he hasnt been done in a few weeks and is scruffy for my standards lol) but because of his breed. Some guy says oh your the commercial dog! I was like what? I guess some car insurance or something has a very overgrown white poodle in its ad lol. Another guy who hunts with his irish setter is just in love with Mister. Very improssed by his smarts and all.
People just suprise me sometimes, i love it! Mister did too! He will take all the attention he can get.

Oh and the poor guy ripped open his front pads pretty bad yesterday and has been hobbling around ever since. He has the most sensitive pads. Any of you have issues with that?

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Its not the salt thats doing it, i keep him away from salt on the roads. Its that he runs so fast and hard on the pavement and grass that he rips them open in multiple spots.
I have put neosporine on it and bandaids but when he's unsupervised he'll rip them off lol. I am interested in trying boots...do you think he would eventually get used to them? This is an ongoing problem since ive had him but he has never ripped them open this bad before. He is still limping today.
