Back in 2011, we showed you our system for drying dog boots.<\/a> Today we bring you an alternative system that you can purchase, if you don't feel like putting together our hack.<\/p>\n

This is billed as a Plastic Bag & Bottle Dryer<\/a> over on Amazon and it get great reviews for that purpose. We immediately saw it as a place to dry up to eight dog boots. It can hang or sit on a table or counter and can fold to be stored with the boots when winter is over. <\/span><\/p>\n

We Still Love Our Hacked System<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our Westie Poppy's Pawz<\/a>\"\" Dog Boots are still drying on chopsticks. Over the years, we improved on the container we're using to store them between trips outside.<\/p>\n

Now the chopsticks holding the wet boots are secured at a good angle by a daisy Mason jar lid<\/a>\"\". This lid was designed for scented candles or for drinking with a straw. But we think it's perfect for our purpose. You can even find them in colors to match the boots \u2013 if your dog is fashion forward. <\/p>\n

We have lots of mason jars<\/a>\"\" on hand because we use them to store everything from paper clips to flour. And we have an extra large container with an assortment of mason jar tops<\/a>\"\" that serve many purposes. That makes this hack a natural for us. <\/p>\n

You can use our system for gloves or mittens with wood dowel rods<\/a>\"\" and a larger jar with some sand or beans added to weigh down and stabilize the system.<\/p>\n
