Biscuit 1, Shoes 0

The big joke is always how dogs love eating women's shoes. Every comedy movie with a dog has a scene with a woman's favorite heels being devoured, and most dog owners seem to have a story of a favorite pair of shoes that were methodically destroyed. Until last night, I never had the pleasure of a dog vs. shoe story.



I forgot to put away my shoes after going out to a nice dinner, and this particular pair of shoes has rope all around the heel. I guess the rope was too tempting to resist...



I heard a crunching that didn't quite sound like his nylabone. I leapt to the other side of the couch, and there was Biscuit - shoe in mouth and pieces of rubber littering the floor.



When I grabbed the shoe from him, he quickly and politely sat down and looked at me expectantly. What training! He's learned that if he sits and waits, he'll get treats... treats, this time, being my shoe.



Last night was only my second time wearing these shoes - the first time was at my friend's wedding as a bridesmaid 2 weeks ago. At least he waited until after the wedding? Ugh...
