Short story related to foot protection for man’s best friend. I had a construction company in the Atlanta area. We started a sun room addition for a customer who had two dogs. One of the dogs was pretty old and wore rubber booties when he went outside because his feet would slip on the steps. We worked daily on this project for about ten days and the dogs were in and out for their walks. Last couple of days the old dog(can’t remember his/her name) was not feeling well and not eating. I’m thinking great the dude probably ate a nail or something ( even though we cleaned up the site daily upon leaving) . I came back the next week to check on a subcontractor and the dog was fine. Owner had taken it to the vet and they found one of his rubber booties lodged in his colon!
