I Gotta Wear Shades

My future is so bright
I gotta wear shades.
...Anonymous

I took Sophie Belle into a cool pet store in South Lake Tahoe. The store is called Dog Dog Cat and they have the cutest collars, tags, toys, etc. While there, I decided Sophie needed to try on the Doggles. Though originally marketed as a fashion item, several practical, military and medical uses were discovered. They are good for dogs that need to protect their eyes from the sun and wind...eye protection for the posh pup. They are used for dogs playing in the snow, sticking their heads out a car window, riding on a motorcycle, boating, hunting, the beach, etc. Then, they had the U.S. Army dogs in Iraq wear them for sun and sandstorm protection. They even have specialized Doggles equipped with night vision and infrared capabilities. And now you can get prescription lenses for failing eyesight or dogs that have undergone cataract surgery.

Doggles were rated #6 on a list of 10 ideas that should not have worked, yet they have made millions!

I certainly thought Sophie looked like a million bucks while wearing them. She doesn't need them for now but maybe some day. Sophie gets enough attention out in public as it is. :)
Best on Black.

@samae The Doggles are suppose to be good for dogs that have had cataract surgery to protect the eye. You could always check with your vet. They are used to keep debris, infrared light, bugs, sand and wind out of their eyes, etc.
