Is this crazy?

Is this crazy or is it just me? They make tons of running gear for dogs! Shoes, Camel Backs, etc. I saw this in runners world and just started laughing! What do you think?

Definitely a bit crazy unless of course you bought this stuff for your four legger (as my daughter calls our first baby!) then it is definitely usable!!! :-) Hope you are having a great day today! I have a question for you too. Do you use Photoshop and if so, what version? Thanks!!!

Yep... I cant even afford all the cool gear like that running... I'll be dang if my dog is sporting it more then me! :)

Shoot, my dogs wouldnt even go out running - they're enjoying the lounging air condition life of luxury!

LOL it depends. I know a lot of Search and rescuces use botties for their dogs, when going over rough terrian. guide dog users put "shoes" on their dogs, as they are walking across hot pavement all the time.

I think people forget that dogs paws aren't made for concrete and cement surfaces anymore than ours are. :)

There are some valid uses for things like this :))

yep... those dog running shoes are hilarious!! The back packs are supposed to be great for dogs who have that drive to "work"... but otherwise... I would say they are silly! ;)
