That's because my shoes normally look like this. Well, not sprawled on the couch but on a shoe rack in closet. What I mean is, they are in one piece, with minor scuffs. Scuffs that happened because I wore them somewhere, not because I chewed the crap out of them.
But now they look like this.
I think Chunky decided that I had too many shoes and that I needed to update the collection, so he thought he'd help me out by ripping some of them to shreads. These ones might be repairable.
And he'd just started on this pair when I came home and opened the door.
This pair was rescued after only a few minutes, it has minor damage on one strap.
But this pair...
And this pair...
And this pair...
(the poor, cute heel)
along with this pair... are not really wearable anymore. He knows he shouldn't do it, and Jeff could leave his pure leather boots out and Chunky wouldn't even look at them. For some reason, it's my shoes and only my shoes. We've implemented a strict "keep the bedroom door shut" but that doesn't always help. I've sprayed them with "no chew" spray, which worked for a while but then a couple pairs must have been worn off... So at this point, do I try to get some of them fixed?
Sell the dog?
Eat the dog?
or try to find a one legged woman who wears my size?

We have the same problem. And isn't it funny that they only eat one shoe from each pair? Sneaky little jerks.
I now have to keep my shoes not only in the closet (door shut) but on top of a high shelf. And the bedroom door is shut. And we barricade the stairs. I'm sure he'll figure out how to get to them eventually.
A moment of silence for your shoes...
When I was just out of high school I got a brand new car for college. I parked it in the garage because it's a brand new car, you know. Well that stupid family dog was also living in the garage. I never realized that my car was safer outside until the next day when I saw that dang dog had literally chewed the metal piece that runs along the lower side of the car (I don't know what those things are called). Metal! Dog are you serious?/!
This just supports one more reason NOT to have a dog. I can't believe you keep trying to convince me to get one... This doesn't help your arguements what so ever!!
Sad day about your shoes... they were really cute! My vote: Eat the dog! :) jk
You know, we were thinking it might be fun to have a dog for the boys... but I'm re-thinking that :-) Thanks for sharing!
def eat the dog. Those are really cute shoes.. or I guess no, keep the dog and give everything that you care about to me so it won't be ruined..???
As much as I want a cute, adorable dog, this is a good reminder of why I don't have one! You have a great sense of humor about it all!
Ah, man! That sucks! How funny that it's only one of the two. Definitely one reason I don't want pets. Good luck saving the rest of your shoes in the future.
