Hi all, I'm Cadence. I am sure you have seen posts from my mom. There in winter coming here in Chicago-land and will be my first winter as a tripawd. I am a little nervous. I even get nervous when I have to cross mom's slippery granite floor sometimes between two rugs. My pawrents bought me these great pairs of boots so that problem was helped, but now I am not sure what to do about winter. I love snow,  and I love playing in snow. But what should I expect now? I heard mom and dad talking about me ice skating on the deck and hurting my other leg or falling on my stump and they sounded really worried. Won't my boots I  use now help? The deck gets very slippery and I even sometimes had to slow down when I had 4 paws to walk on that. My pawrents try not to use salt because it can hurt my pads. Winter does not sound as pawesome anymore as it used to. Do I need to purchase ice skates now or maybe I won't be able to take as many pawesome walks with mom and dad? That doesn't sound fun at all. 

I wonder if this would work for dog boots:

Eh, I don't want to jinx it or anything, but Gerry doesn't seem struggle with the snow and ice any more than I remember my four-leggeds in the past.  If it is easier for him to slip – he must be making an effort to be more careful.

Not that it looks like he is in this video:

I know, not actually that much snow or ice there, but truly, there's not much difference when it is.
