The first time I saw a dog wearing shoes was on the TV show "The Simple Life," and the canine was Paris Hilton's quivering little chihuahua. That miserable doggie got dressed up in all manner of pink and glittery clothes. But the shoes -- dude, that seemed to take it too far.Now I'm thinking otherwise, with my snow-hating Boston Terrier. She loves being outside but seems miserable walking on snow and ice. Maybe it's time to consider dog boots.
In my scanty research on dog boots, it looks like there's a wide variety. Some look like they're just nylon bags secured to the foot with a strip of velcro. Others have rubber soles. Some lace up like human shoes. Lacing up dog shoes sounds pretty ridiculous and impossible.
Has anyone in blog land tried out dog boots? How did your dog tolerate them? Were they awesome or a waste of money?
