If slushy winter conditions weren't enough, this is REALLY good reason to break out the rubber soled dog booties! http://www.ruffwear.com/Barkn-Boots-Grip-Trex?sc=2&category=11# ~Natalya

A couple of years ago when I was first training Nickie to walk with me around the neighborhood, he always tried to go around the metal plate covers in the sidewalk - some of them would make a "scary" rattling noise when stepped on. I always encouraged him to ignore it and to just keep walking next to me. Now it looks like he was the smarter of the two of us!

Definitely if we're in Toby's neighbourhood! Yikes.... Teagan!
