Ava's Shoes

Remember when I bought Ava shoes to wear hiking? Well, after two hikes in LA where her paws were either cut or rubbed completely raw, I decided she needed to start wearing them again. Yesterday we hiked Solstice Canyon in Malibu. It's a relatively easy hike, so there were large groups of people and kids on the trail. Ava was the hit of the trail in her shoes. She made kids giggle uncontrollably. She had people taking pictures of her. Not a single person walked by us without commenting either to us or amongst themselves. One woman suggested I design a line of designer dog shoes since Ava's looked a bit boy-ish. I sort of doubt there is a big market for hiking dogs who want fancy shoes...
