As it becomes winter again… and as somebody who once popped out his kneecap by slipping on ice, I would like to remind my followers that slip on shoe spikes exist.
You can usually get ones like these for around $10, and they’re really worth it. They’re made of rubber, so you can just fold them up, and I’ve been using mine for a couple of years now.
And if you use a cane, don’t be afraid to get one of these bad boys:

The tip is on a hinge. You pinch the white knobs together and the ice tip just sorta flips around and up against the cane, so you can use it on dry floors indoors without removing it entirely! This thing has saved me from so many falls in the winter.
It’s not quite winter again, but here we go again
Ice grip attachments for CANES?! Hell yes. BRB, buying a few.
Goose was one of my first pets to photograph, he belongs to the Aldie Vet Clinic’s office assistant. She adopted Goose when someone left him at the clinic because of his special needs. She was able care for him and give him a new home. When Goose arrived at my studio, his Momma let him down and he began sniffing around the space for about 10 minutes. Once he had everything mapped out, we were ready to work. It was really amazing to see him walk around the studio using his mental picture, and if you didn’t know any better, you would have no idea he couldn’t see!!! In just 10 minutes, he had everything so perfectly figured out, that he could even walk up and jump up on the bed, knowing precisely where it was!! He never bumped into anything and was very very very friendly. He had a smile on his face the whole time, it was an amazing experience for me :)
