Does anybody know a way to convince doggies to like, or at least tolerate, wearing shoes?

OMG I AM DESPERATE HERE. IT IS WAY TOO COLD FOR THEM TO GO OUT WITH UNPROTECTED FEET, AND THERE IS SALT AND ALL.

Unfortunately, it's the usual slow habituation process (https://www.google.com/search?q=teach+dogs+to+wear+shoes) it takes to get animals to do anything that doesn't come naturally. You might have to go back to using newspapers or a litter-box indoors until the cold snap is over or they tolerate the boots, whichever comes first.

We've got puppy pads, and I think we'll have to get more. Last time I took them out they cried, and actually flinched when I picked them up to carry them home. I had barely managed to cross the street.

Poor little beasties. I hope they get used to their boots soon; clearly they can't go out barefoot in such weather.

Not with wind chills in the -degrees fahrenheit they can't. Poor little doggos.
