Grab a Couple of Pair

There is a store I showed you earlier downtown on 2nd Street called Lofty Dog. We are dogless but Sunday we went into the store with our friend who owns a standard poodle. They have dog shoes including this pair, um, quad of colorful tennis shoes! Just what the urban dog needs on the hot pavement, I guess. Although can you imagine? "Hold still! Just one more paw lace needs tying!"

  1. I can't imagine that dogs are very happy about wearing all the accoutrements their owners like to put on them. A sweater is one thing, but I think shoes are taking things a little too far!

  2. LOL I would love to see just one south Austin dog in these things! I can hear it now! Hey Bubba what is your dog sporting there?

  3. Yeah, it's hilarious. I mean, we put little T-Shirts on our dog when we needed to cover a wound but shoes!?! Still, cute in the theoretical...still in the package.

  4. Well, you know what? I'm not too crazy about dog shoes, but we take out two Standard Poodles out alot in the summer to festivals, etc and the pavement gets really hot down here in the south. They might be quite a good idea! We have to keep taking our dogs over to the grass or getting in the shade to keep their feet cool!

  5. My wife and I put shoes on our dog not to be cute, but for very practical reasons. Downtown sidewalks are littered with broken glass and other debris. Shoes protect the feet, it's as simple as that.

  6. Yep, there is definitely too much glass and debris. I'm for the shoes if the dog will go along with it.
