And taste the best. FWIW, Maybe has a thing for my thongs - "Flip Flops" to those whose minds were considering the other clothing item. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

"Nessa" wrote: I agree Shelly! I just FORGOT about shoes and puppies... Perhaps the fact that he's way bigger than many adult dogs had something to do with it? ;-D Also, it really depends on the puppy. I've never had a shoe chewed ON, let alone chewed UP, by a dog of any age... and I leave my shoes all over the house. Only animal I've ever had chew on a shoe was a cat... Which is not to say I haven't had canine chewers! Pepper (the dog I had before Brenin) chewed on furniture when she was teething (chair legs, mostly), and Brenin ate holes in the pockets of several pairs of jeans; he'd pull the jeans down, or out of the laundry basket, turn the pockets inside out, and eat them... which is of course my own fault for habitually keeping dog treats in my pockets.. And when I first had Morag, she not only chewed up all sorts of odd things found about the house, but ATE them - in her case I believe it was some form of pica, possibly due to malnourishment. Rocsi was a dedicated chewer, but preferred wooden things or woobies - as a pup, she was satisfied with dried kudzu and dog toys. Cenau (who is NOT a puppy) loves to chew things up, but mostly confines himself to the multitude of bones, nylabones, and woobies scattered about the house - however he does snitch yogurt containers and the like and gnaw them up if he can. Like Rocsi, he spits out the bits, so I don't worry about it too much. I've also got to watch out for my socks - he doesn't eat them but he does like to snitch them and run about "killing" them, especially my Smartwool ones (which is 90% of my socks). The sock thing isn't due to my scent, either, since he prefers clean ones. He's got amazingly powerful jaws for such a wee dog - the first week I had him, I gave him a red Kong (I had two tiny ones that were given to me with Rocsi) with some meat roll stuffed in the end, thinking it would occupy him for a bit. He lay down at my feet holding it in his paws & examining it... couple of minutes later, I glanced down and found he'd neatly chewed off the small end & was holding THAT in his paws, licking out the goodies. He'd quite clearly analyzed the quickest way to get the food, then set about doing it. |

The shoes included a pair of Nina's, 2 Enzos, and a a hiking boot I hadn't even worn yet. Only the left shoe of each. About $500 worth of footwear. I had no clue that my left foot was so attractive... I just turned around --our 18-week old Maltese has just discovered our (momentarily open) downstairs closet. There are five shoes on the rug behind me, each from a different pair. I was going to retrieve them and close the closet. Now I have to wait and see if she can break your record :-) Dick Muldoon |
