This is my 16-yr-old mini poodle. She has lost strength in her rear legs and has a great deal of trouble walking on hardwood floors, sometimes scooting around on her rear pulled by her front legs. Most times, I have to rescue her from being splayed out or have her spend most of her day on ceramic tile where she gets some traction.
Two days ago, I was wishing there were sneakers for dogs. Yesterday, I went to a large pet store looking for rain booties thinking, perhaps, they would give her feet traction and... There they were... Sneakers!! They had just come in that day as a brand new item! Talk about creating your own reality!!
She is now back to running around like a young pup! I think she looks cute and funny at the same time. The photo was taken minutes after putting them on (fuzzy because of low light) and she headed straight for the steps as if she knew she'd now be able to climb them -- and, she did!
