I know when you travel to some places you have to check you shoes in the morning for scorpions. In Japan do you have to check your slippers in the morning for chihuahuas?

Well, I want both. >:/

If you rearranged the puppy pics, it could go from wide awake to fast asleep!!

Is it possible to rearrange the pics? That would be funny.

*checks slippers for puppehs (or kittens)*

*goes to ebay Japan*

How is it that Japan has not earned their very own CO category??

Margaret
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 05:33 AM

Gah!

how big are those slippers, exactly??

jen
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 05:50 AM

The buyer is gonna be pissed when he/she gets the slippers and there are no pups inside. And the pup will be pissed that his bed was sold.

@Desi:
No, them's cows, fershure - or mebbe, goats?

 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 06:07 AM

The horns are curled, so I'm thinking rams or goats.

brinnann
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 06:09 AM

Sheep, fer shear.

Cows don't have curly horns, and where's the cow print?

*weighing in on the sheep/cow/goat debate*

One of the few words in English on the auction page is "sheep", therefore I'm voting sheep.

slipper instructions: "please remove chihuahuas prior to foot insertion"

Noelle, you've never seen a white cow before? 'Cause there are such things, you know. However, I don't think they are cows. I think that they are sheepies. The face is wrong for cows.

Alex(andria)
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 06:43 AM

True Alex(andria). A cow's face would be more squared at the end, whereas this one's just round with a point. Oh, and covered in slobber, of course.

brinnann
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 07:21 AM

if japan had its own CO category.
it would be "Ass-Handers".
as once again (heavy sigh)
they have handed us ours in the cute department.
Although! I think it is very sneaky of them to USE adorable puppies to sell slippers. Unless they come with. False advertising!

liz
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 07:30 AM

I have to own a pair of these slippers. I'm not an impulse shopper, but I can feel them on my feet, right now. Anyone link me to someone selling these in America? My ebay search turned up naught.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Andi
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 07:59 AM

The first and immediate question is, does the pup come with the slippers. That's GOT to effect the market price.

Kar
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 08:06 AM

I used to live in Japan, and read Japanese. Maybe I should post some of my cute pix.

1. What they are selling is a SHEEP. Even the English states this, but it is repeated in Japanese.

2. It is a doggie bed, not slippers.

Yukito
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 09:42 AM

So they is not cow slippers but lambie-pie doggie beds....
So, in Japan, do the chihuahuas have to check their beds at night to make sure there are no feet in them?
(I always have to think chee-hoowah-hoowah when I spell that.)

charliewabba
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 10:01 AM

"normal cow slippers" ???

Tricia Garrett
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 10:25 AM

If I gave that to my dog Kaylee, she would eat it...as she eats all fluffy beds I give her. But I think my cats would love it. With the little pocket part, it would be like a rehabilitation tool for those kitties that need boxhab 'cause they'd still have a space to squeeze into. ?

Or sleepy to awake!

Oh, and I second (or whichever number we're at now) the "Japan" tag motion. ^_^

I am reminded of a song:

Like my loafers?
Former gophers!
(It was that, or skin my chauffers).

(I vote "yea" on a new Japan category -- "Ass-handers" is my preference).

Do you know how viciously my cat would attack me if I wore those?

Rachel of Cyberia
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 12:13 PM

I could get behind a "Japan Handing our asses to us" category, but first I still want one for SWEATER/KNIT first.

Kar
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 12:31 PM

How big are those slippers? They could be normal slipper size, but they seem almost like doggie beds. Cute chihuahuas!! I don't even like chihuahuas but these seem to look much different from the regular taco bell kind.

CoffeeCup
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 01:21 PM

And those are sheep slippers.

CoffeeCup
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 01:25 PM

Surely this qualifies for Product Cuteness, non?

Our Doxie mix has a slipper-shaped bed along these lines, but his is much beeger.

Pheas
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 01:44 PM

CoffeeCup, Chihuahuas come in short- (Taco Bell) and long-haired varieties. This one looks like it could be a mix of the two, or maybe a long-haired who's been to the barber.

Pheas
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 01:48 PM

I guess it qualified! (And so did the speed of the site update -- zoomzoomzoom!)

Pheas
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 02:01 PM

It is a little-known fact that chihuahuas also theenk and read in their accents.
He seemply read the tag and thought, "sleep-pères! For de sleepingks in!"

In terms of bedding I still like the infinite regress of cat-shaped cat beds better though =) http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/08/omg.html

Not much I can say here, just taking in the overwhelming cute-induced bliss. ^_^

And btw, why does Meg call them cow slippers, is this some kind of inside joke I don't know about?

CheshireCat
 |  Jan 17, 2008 at 04:34 PM

SQUEEEEEEE!!!

Subhangi
