Tuesday Night Beer Club

What, I ask, could make an otherwise semi-normal dog decide one day to cause destruction?!?! We've been here for 4 months, and I almost always leave my closet door open. What on earth compelled him to enter that closet today and carefully select, nay pluck, my favorite pairs of shoes from my shoe rack for a snack?? I know which one it was too...that fat one has been sniffing around the closet for weeks now. I would shut the door at night because I thought he was sniffing out a nighttime emergency poop place. Has he been planning it for weeks? Did he begin fantasizing about munching on some footwear from the moment we arrived here? Why today? Why only my shoes? There were several pairs of boys shoes readily available at the front door. And why my favorite, I-finally-have-cute-shoes-I-can-wear-anywhere, shoes? Why not the 8-year old pair of tennis shoes? (yeah...I don't "tennis" very much) I'm so mad I could spit! I'm sitting here dreaming up ways to punish him...like, making him eat the rest of my mangled shoes...or washing his mouth out with soap...or biting him. But the truth is, he probably doesn't even remember he did it now. All he's thinking is..."Hmmm, my ass really smarts...like it got smacked with a shoe or something...hmmm...that's weird...oh! There's Bishop's ass...better sniff it!" Damn dogs!

All I can do is laugh. I dont know why but this is really funny for me. I guess because I can see them both pretending nothing happened while you were gone.

Dog eaten shoe pictures are so sad to me...

It's not just your dog, Dillon's dog would eat her sisters BCBG Pumps, but leave Old Navy flip-flops alone. It's like they know which shoes are of more value to the owner and eat them...

The expensive, stylish ones always taste best! Crazy Cat Lady's cats used to eat her shoes, but only the cheap ones.
