Ava has a huge obsession with the wind. When it's windy outside, she's completely zoned out. She runs around jumping and barking trying to catch it. She loves it. Only thing is that I can't seem to get her attention when it's time to go back inside. I've tried treats and even food. It's like she doesn't even see me. I've tried to catch her, but she doesn't stay still enough for me to get to her. Yesterday, it was very windy and I tried unsuccessfully for almost 1 1/2 hours to get her to come in. Finally she stopped and came to me limping. So I picked her up and took her inside. The biggest paw pad on each paw has a piece of pad skin missing or scraped. I soaked and cleaned them and used neosporin and have been carrying her outside to potty. We had some pain meds and gave her some. Tomorrow we will go to the vet. Could running around full speed for that long cause her pads to rub off? Any help on desensitizing her to wind would help. I don't correct her because I don't believe she even notice me calling her or trying to catch her. Our back yard has grass so she does not run on pavement.
