Mischief!

I was in the kitchen doing the dishes last night when I heard the familiar sound of greyhound claws gripping the carpet in the act of running, as well as her collar rattling like she was shaking her head. I flicked the suds off my hands and made for the living room. In the minute it took me to get there, Barbie had stopped what she was doing, and was standing, tail swishing slowly, looking sweetly up at me.

I could not figure out why she had been running around like a maniac.

Then I looked at her bed. Two of my shoes were right there, from different pairs. I threw her her kittie fluffy, and she ran around with that instead.

She definately has a shoe fetish.

Ha ha ha! Our boy Hawk did, too! He never chewed them, but he always collected as many as he could on his bed. Sometimes he thought Treat needed some, too, so he'd put some on her bed and some on his!

Oh that's sweet! Sharing is caring! hahah
Maybe he thought she could share the blame;-)
Lol, Bery'ls favourite toy right now is just one of my shoes that Frankie stole. It's actually from a pair I bought online quite cheap that turned out to be too small and I've been meaning to re-auction them. But it won't be happening now! No damage done but hey, what's a pair of shoes between friends.

Hahah! Frankie looks like he would have destroyed some shoes in his time though ;) I know my little Bender certainly did, until he was about 2.
His favourite footwear to destroy is thongs (flip flops I think they're called in other places, jandals here in New Zealand) but he always seems to destroy the right one and I end up with lots of orphan left thongs, lol! And I warn visitors to either leave their shoes on or put them somewhere high so he can't run off with them:-)
hahah Jandals... ;) over there by the chillybin.... yeah I know quite a few Kiwis ;)

Bender used to love eating thongs too. I actually stuck one of the orphans on the bullbar of my 4x4. I get lots of comments about it. Before I had inside cats I used to leave the back door open and often one of the visitors shoes went missing and we had to go looking in the garden for it.
Ha, my greyhound does the same! pinches the shoes on the verandah and piles them up on his bed!! Hasn't destroyed any yet - Touch Wood!!!!

Haha someone from the adoption group said they 'collect' things because they never have anything of their own in the kennels :O
Beryl doesn't really collect things, except perhaps my dirty work clothes from the bathroom where I've dumped them on the floor while I have a shower, lol. She drags every piece out one at a time and puts them on a pile on the double foam mattress in the lounge room. She's grinning and watching me out of the corner of her eye. She thinks she's SO clever, lol!
