THIS is one of my favorite quotes, it makes so much sense, hope you like it also!

Disposable dog booties/boots

Hello all,
I am writting cuz I have come across the greatest thing since sandwiches were invented. Frankly I was going
to patent this myself but did nto have the time nor money. I did research to find a disposable dog boot. I found someone
who has a patent pending and is selling them now. My dog Paco is allergic to grass and has to have his feet covered
every time he goes out. Nice boots are expense and can get ruined quite easily. ANYWAY this gentleman has come up
with a boot dry day version and wet days version. This boots are great for various reasons targeting dog lovers who hate
to wipe boots feet after quick pee, vets and animal hospitals for after surgery, even during surgery, dog shows to keep
thier feet clean and dry, trips, dogs with sores on feet to keep them clean and on and on. Actually each pair can be used
a couple of times sometimes. You can actually take the dog for a 10 -15 minute walk and they will hold up. They are great.
I dont make any money from telling you this, I promised the maker of these boots that I would spread the word.
The boot is a lot like the booties you would cover your shoes with in a hospital same this material, but one is water proof as well.
They have a little elastic loop attached to the middle of the boot to wrap it around and it also comes with velcro as an added
secureness for a walk.They come 10 pair in a box. If you are interested in finding out more go to Noobys.com.
The owners name is Rod. Tell him Tara told you about his product. I have tried them on Paco and they are pretty cool,
my vet likes them too (I introduced him and left him a sample). They come in all doggie sizes.
