Protective gear for you dog

Yesterday, I blogged about toys for dogs.  I have accidentally deleted that post and asked for help.  If you are reading today's post today or in the future and don't see yesterday's post, it means that I couldn't get help, we are still resolving the issue or that post is gone forever!

Anyhow, I love winter.  It is snowing snowflakes today!  Not icy rain, not little ice, but it is actually snowing.  You know, snowflakes that would actually melt in your mouth.

I thought why not blog about shoes for your dogs!  Shoes is always a popular topic! The photo to this blog post is the only set of winter boots for dogs I can find in my dog closet.  I used to have two sets of this, one for Okee and one for Q.  Eventually, I realized that maybe Okee don't need them.  You can see lots of wear and tear with these booties.  It's always a challenge putting them on.

Here are some questions you should ask yourself, when buying, making or choosing "shoes" for your dogs:

1.  What are you buying it for?

Protection for their feet? If so, against what?

A Party?  What is the theme of the Party?

Replacement?  Then you know exactly what you need or you are so happy that you can finally buy replacements because you hated the existing one so much.

2.  Will my dog like wearing this?

Yes. (or so you think)

No.  Then you definitely don't want to buy this because it's going to be lost, ripped apart or broken really soon.

Maybe, then take some risk.

3.  How long will it take me to put this thing on my beloved dog?

Too long, then you might need to do lots of practice and your dog will be grumpy everytime you break out the shoes until they realize, ohhh we are going for a walk.

Not long at all but I will most likely not put it on the right way and it might come off during the walk.

4.  How will my dog walk with these shoes?

You will have to test it out.  No refund. See Picture.

5.  If you are an accountant, you might ask yourself, how do you calculate depreciation on this item.

I do not have the answer to this question. I am not an accountant; however, if you start pondering about questions such as questions #5, you probably made the right choice because you have time to think about something that is of no relevance to the topic.

Please excuse me, I have to go out with my mouth wide open and start eating snowflakes now. Chao!
