RE: [pyrnet] Snow and...hips?

I wondered the same thing about clipping the excess hair growing from between their pads.  I thought maybe to clip the hair flush with Beau's pads so it doesn't hang out, would keep him from collecting ice balls under his paws.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. We haven't
tried several of them, so, we will now!

Another question we had about snow is just how best to
keep the snowballs off their pads. Is clipping the
long hair between the toes a good idea?

Thanks, 
Pip, Tanna and Dirk
