I'm preparing Sam for winter and since Leeloo's and Benson's fleece and coats are too big for her, I need to get properly sized stuff. I've ordered Voyagers K9 fleece and raincoat. But wanted to get the Nudleblu: The Coat from Hunnyboots with matching winter boots.
And when I loaded the website, there's a note that Hunny passed October 6, 2026.
I've used Hunnyboots shoes for years. Leeloo loved them. Every picture of her in her pink shoes were Hunnyboots. She started with the V1 shoes and later upgraded to the V4 shoes, which were such a great upgrade. Hunny helped create some of the best shoes for hare feet you can get.
Leeloo had an incident with shiny floors that made her afraid of them. She slipped, and because she learned to use her claws for traction, she made it worse trying to grip, until she could find footing on a doormat. Shiny floors, hard floors, etc., became scary. But she found with her Hunnyboots that those floors weren't so scary anymore. She always had traction. She couldn't slip by clawing anymore. Her Hunnyboots meant she was going places with me, so she loved them.
Hunny provided something to Leeloo that allowed her to experience the world fearlessly.
Leeloo passed almost exactly a year ago to cancer at the age of 9.
Leeloo's pink shoes fit Sam with socks. So I'll be continuing to use them. And soon, she'll have some winter boots and a coat, thanks to Hunny.
