Protective Gear

You are probably getting sick of my worrying and complaining about the deadly creatures here in the land of Oz - but the dog park is a hotbed of animal rumors! Yesterday, a man was there with his Dingo, named Ruby. Ruby was the sweetest creature ever, and her owner said that Dingos are just misunderstood. Anyway, Ruby's owner told me about how he takes Ruby out to the bush for runs, but that he is careful now because of the snakes. "Snakes?" I query. He said that he recently saw up to six snakes on a nearby grassy ridge. He said, "Don't worry, I'm 31 now and I've probably only seen 20 or so snakes total." ....20?

And then there's the woman who found a snake rolled up comfortably in her patio umbrella. Now wouldn't that be a shocker at her first "barbie" of the year?

Anyway, I decided to outfit Sammy for the dangerous wild things here in Oz. Behold! These boots are made for stompin'!

Sammy Well Prepared
