Neo-Paws

I actually fought the idea of shoes on my dog for a couple of years now, because being a foreigner in a comparatively small city (by chinese standards) I felt we already draw enough attention to ourselves as it is. I walk Moli a couple of times everyday which for me has been good in a few ways. We are continually stopped by people who want to talk about her, so my Chinese language has improved ten fold and she has taken a good bulk of the attention away from me...HOORAY! But walking a dog around the streets of China can be like walking through a mine field. The habitual practice the Chinese people have of spitting everywhere, vomiting, peeing and pooing their little kids and babies on the spot wherever, construction on every street, holes, metal, oil and food scraps from street side food vendors, broken glass... All this stuff littering the roads and pavements... The list goes on forever. I couldn't live with the thought of what my dog was walking through everyday any longer, we share a shoebox size apartment and .....well you can imagine. Also I obviously had to keep carrying her over hazardous areas of glass and building sites..... SO ....shoes became a necessity. I tried the cheap ones from the pet shop, looked cool but slipped around on her feet and fell apart after a month or so. So i researched on the internet and found Neo-Paws came highly recommended. Well just look at the photos, she loves them, I love them for the piece of mind they give me. And... Do we get more attention? Well yes, but its even more directed at Moli than me now. The most common thing I used to hear a hundred times a day was "look at the foreigner", which became 50/50 With "look at the cute dog" and now the most common thing by far is "look at the cute dog wearing boots".
