These Boots Are Made For Walking

Rudy knows when I put on my black boots that something is happening. In the winter, I usually wear clogs or slippers inside the house. This makes it easy to take off my shoes and slide on my Bean boots to take a dog outside in the snow or rain or mud.

When I leave the house to shop or run errands, I usually put on a pair of black boots that lace up the front and tie. Both dogs watch me as I am getting ready and recently Rudy has decided that when I tie the black boots, either he is going for a ride in the car or he is going in the crate while I am out of the house. A few days ago, he just decided to go to his crate when I sat down to tie my boots. How much these dogs know! When I am ready to leave the house, I still have to tell Emme to go to her crate, but Rudy is in his as soon as I start to tie my boots.
