When one friendship ends, a new one begins

Perhaps you've seen these boots on my feet before. They've been around for a long time:

When I came in from the rain the other day, I noticed my feet -inside my boots- were wet:

I've had these friends for many years. But this just won't do:

Wet feet on a farm girl just aren't acceptable:

I don't need anything fancy, pretty, furry, or trendy, they just need to not leak. Sigh...

Fortunately, my husband loves me a lot.
He came home with these for me the other night. Look how shinyyyyyy they are:

I immediately needed to give them a trial run.
Here is a new boot next to a llama foot:

Here's that same new boot with a donkey foot. So far so good:

Here is my left new boot with Kai the llama's two front feet:

And here's one of the new boots being stepped on by a goat foot for the first time:

Now with two goat feet. These boots are clearly durable:

They even look good with chicken feet:

And next to Roxy, the farm pup's feet, they look exceptionally beautiful, don't you think?:

Welcome, my rubbery, new friends. I promise to take good care of you. I hope you like it here:
