It's Friday and we've spent the entire week closely examining shoes, from the craziest trends in of spring to our favorite brands of the '90s. And now, here are small animals wearing shoes. (Please excuse us if we're a little drunk on footwear, but if adorable animals doing adorable things on the internet is the worst thing that comes out of the loopiness, then things aren't so bad. Probably.) The hard part is picking the cutest. See our nine nominations below.
