I was hooked! I ordered a pair of shoes, where one foot will have princess Ana, from Frozen, in her blue dress and the other shoe with Princess Ana in her other dress. You see, my Seeing Eye dog is named Anna, which I call her Princess Ana. She is also know as Anna Banana. So, I am also having her paint a little peeled banana in the ankle part of the shoe.
