Yep...
I would have done the same thing.
Through the winter, the roads and sidewalks here are salted. ( That's right, literally tonnes of salt is dumped onto the roads and side walks to turn perfectly good snow into messy, useless slush ).
Anyways, I won't let my boxer baby walk on the salted areas without her booties on, and oh yeah I look like a nut too!
