Dog Walking, Poo Poo, and Shoes

Doggie Without Shoes

Doggie Without Shoes

If either you have a dog or you know someone with a dog, then this post is for you.  As we all know, dogs pee and poo like all other humans.  Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately depending on your disposition, they don’t tend to do so on a toilet designed for humans.  There are LOTS of serious problems that may arise as a result of taking your dog outdoors to do his or her business. For instance, a kid could fall on your dog and break your dog’s leg.  Most dogs think kids are stupid, whether they admit it or not…and this is often true.  Kids are dangerous.  A dog owner may also worry about the environmental impact of either leaving or picking up his dog’s turds.  And people who don’t pick up their dog’s poo are likely to be called names or be put in a list of the 5 types of pet owners who don’t pick up dog shit!  While there’s not all that much we can do about dangerous kids, the environmental impact of dog turds, and rude people, we can do something about the serious problem of dirt in your house!

There’s nothing worse than going out in the rain to take your dog to lay a turd, only to have your K-9 friend walk into your house tracking mud and dirt.  You can leave your shoes at the door, but what about your dog?  Well, thanks to Vibram (maker of Five Fingers), we now have an excellent solution.  Dog shoes.  These suckers are a life saver.  When it’s raining or muddy outside, you can quickly strap these shoes on, take your dog to do his or her business, and take them off again before you enter your house.

I LOVE these dog shoes, and so does my dog!  Your dog might not be able to go to the toilet, much less read on one, but at least you can keep your house clean now after taking your dog out!

    Hey, thanks for the pingback! And I love the concept of these shoes, but did your dog first forget how to walk when you put them on? I tried something like this with mine once and it was the funniest thing to watch!

    Jessica: Yes! My dog seemed to forget how to walk when I first put them on, and it was very funny. She kept raising her feet as if she thought they were still on the ground. But now that she’s been wearing them whenever the weather is bad/muddy, she walks just fine with them.

    BTW…great blog you’ve got!
