During one of today’s walks with Nysse, I found his previous boot, which he “lost” – totally by accident, I’m sure – when we last let him out on his own. It lay just behind the house, not far at all.

What I don’t understand is how he managed to get it off. The boot is whole and in one piece. The leather lace still has its knot, nice and tight. Even the sock we had inside to prevent rubbing is there, inside the boot, with the strip of adhesive bandage to keep it in place. Everything looks untouched, as if he had just magicked or teleported his paw out of it.
