So, where to start...I've got several posts planned so I'm going to keep this one quite brief and focus on a new trend I discovered whilst in New York: doggy shoes. Yes, you read that right - doggy shoes.
Whilst heading to a meeting I passed a lady who was out walking her dog. I had to look twice when I realised that the dog was wearing an outfit...and shoes to match.
Now, I am a dog lover and have a pup called Nacho (pictured). I admit that he does have a wrap around jacket for the winter when it's very cold, but I just couldn't ever imagine putting him in shoes!
From a practical viewpoint I can understand the concept; how great would it be if you arrived home after a walk on a muddy field and had the ability to slip them off and not risk dirty marks on your carpet!? But, I still just can't see it!
So guys, I'm putting this one out to you!! Firstly, does anyone have a dog who wears shoes? And secondly, would you put your pooch in shoes?
Finally, I'd like to promise that if Nacho ever does sport a pair of shoes I'll upload some pictures and admit that I was wrong. Maybe I've just missed out on a great money-making opportunity!

ReplyDeleteTried replying on your blog but the word verification isnt working for me! My dog has a cape for rainy days that he seems ok about, meaning he has no issues when he has to wear it. Now, shoes...I don't think he'd let me put them on! I does seem like a good idea, though, specially if you have a carpeted floor and rains / snows a lot where you live, but...shouldn't dogs feel where they're walking? *rubs chin* /
