Doggy Shoes

Josephine passed 2 sets of doggy shoes (for Ebi & Emma) to me last Saturday when we met @ Sentosa. She bought ALOT from BKK coz all her trios uses shoes esp Ozzy.

In the past, i do not fancy dogs wearing doggy shoes coz to me - i felt is too fanciful. Moreover, dogs sweats thru their tongue & paws - in such a climate @ Singapore, i do not think shoes are necessary, is more like - fashion accesory. Perhaps, otherwise adviced by Vet for medical reasons or the dogs have very sensitive paw-pads & eg. =pp

I was wrong! The shoes does comes in handy sometimes - especially in rainy weathers (where we do not want their paws to get wet & have those 'tiny creatures' sticking onto their fur ard the paw & so..) Friends whom knew me well, knows that after my duos bathing session every weekend (Sat/Sun), i do not walk them nor bring them outta the house for at least the next 3 days following. Reason being - i wish to keep them as clean & fresh as possible & i hate to dirty their paws (cos i loves smelling their paws!) LOL~~

Last sunday Ebi insisted & was persistent on following us out for breakfast - so we brought him along & i decided to make him try & walk on his new shoes. We carried him all the way to the car (didn't allow him to walk on the ground & floor was wet too =pp) & later put on the shoes for him in the car. The shoes fits nicely (thanks Jo!) & Ebi didn't try chewing it off either after we said NO. When he arrived & parked, Ebi started walking & all of us broke out laughing. It was so funny & cute, he walked awfully - like a duckling! I insisted & make him walk slowly, allowing him to try & get used to the shoes. After awhile, it was better - he could walked more naturally except occasionally, he would stop in his track coz the shoe on 1 of the paws was loose~ hahaha^^

Sudden urge, i brought Ebi down to PLC yesterday & bought him a pair of new shoes (as spare). This shoe has a zipper + velcro which deems more secured on their paws. Freakingly, it costed $28+ for a set of 4 (more exp than my charles & keith slipper! *pouts*). Didn't buy for Emma yet coz i wanted to make sure she can fit into the same size as Ebi's shoes. Great!! Now i have no more worries about bringing the dogs out (even if it turns rainy suddenly) or when the floor is wet. I can even bring them for short walks after their bathing sessions coz both of them have their own shoes now. Definately, they will still be out w/o shoes, the shoes are only worn on them when necessary. Hurhur^^

Oh btw, Emma can fit well in Ebi's shoes nicely. So i went online to search & managed to buy this set of shoes for Emma too. PLC @ East Point didn't have this colour coz they are only left with the red - which i finds it too bright. Kekeke. MerMer's set of shoes costed much cheaper @ $14+ (free shipping summore)! Darn. PLC's price is doubled! Oh well~~


Ebi's shoe! Blue w/ white trim. (wanted black, but only left with this & red..)

Emma's shoe! Pink w/ silver trim.

It's Grandpa's birthday today & we have a chalet @ Pasir Ris Park. I'll don the shoes on the dogs tonight (so they can run around the bungalow & the garden w/o dirtying their paws) & bring them along with me. If I sees Emma behaves & never misses peeing into the tray @ home - i'll bring her with us. Otherwise, her punishment is to stay home & look after the house while her Korkor Ebi comes with us. Muahahaaa~
