Darby has always been known as our "big foot" dog. He has those cute big, fat dachshund feet. This week we learned an unexpected benefit of big feet. We've had ice on the driveway in back all week. Cash and Scooter were having a lot of trouble walking on it (remember, my dogs see ice like once every 10 years). Darby, however, had no trouble at all. Evidently, big feet are really good for traction! While Scooter and Cash were sliding around just trying to walk out to potty, Darby was chasing his darby-ball! He seemed to have no trouble at all on the ice. Big feet = darby-ball on ice
