Fashion Meets Function

Bunny here at the keyboard typing about a proud moment for me.

You may know by now that we Greyhounds love our fashions.  I admit it, I have better clothes than Mom and Dad.  Not that there's anything wrong with that!  One thing that we've lamented a bit, however, is the lack of fashions for German Shepherds.  We do so want to keep Morgan up on the cutting edge of fashion with us, but there's not a lot to pick from, and then there's Dad always saying that German Shepherds don't wear things.

However, we've seen a few of our Shepherd friends wearing a few things.  Anna and Shawnee both have their own backpacks, and we've seen Shawnee wear an insulated vest when she's out on her really cold hikes.  For the most part, Morgan doesn't get too cold, but there is one thing that Mom and Dad have worried about.  That's her feet.

When Mom first saw the PAWZ boots, she was curious, but not completely sure.  Okay, mostly she wasn't sure Dad would let Morgan wear them.  We saw our hiking friends all sporting some of them, though, as well as our friends from Two Pitties In The City.  We were pleasantly surprised when Dad said that he'd agree to put them on her, especially on our hikes when it's really snowy and icy.

So, we made a special shopping trip to the dog bakery.  We picked up Blueberry's birthday cake for later in the week, some treats for all of us and some PAWZ for Morgan.  The lady in the store has a lot of Shepherds and she even helped Dad put them on Morgan while Mom and I supervised.  Morgan got used to them pretty quickly, so I expect she'll be out hiking and walking in them soon.

I am so glad we're finally getting her a few of her own fashions, even if it is mostly for function rather than looking good.  She looks good while she's keeping her feet dry and clean.  The next thing you know, we'll have her all dressed up.  Just don't tell Dad!
