    Zac...are you out there?? I need to talk!!

    I am in the doghouse again. I don't know what it is about Mom's summer sandals, but I love to chew the straps off. She just bought the perfect tan pair with such thick, soft rubber soles that she felt like she was walking on a cloud...even though her school has concrete floors. I don't know what got into me...but I had to chew off a strap. Only one...I pulled myself together before eating the whole thing. Mom hit the roof when she went to put on those shoes to wear to a funeral. Heck, she even threw it at me (she missed. I'm glad she's a lousy shot). This is the sixth pair of summer sandals I have ruined for her. Do you know of any 10 Step programs for doggies like me?
    Hi. My name is Trixie and I am a compulsive sandal eater.

    ooohhhhh, Trixie!

    I understand the shoe thing; I had that passion for years. It is always with Pastor Bananas shoes, but I never, ever did any damage to them. I only loved tearing around the place with one shoe shaking it from side to side while growling. The secret is to dive under low places with tops, like tables, chairs, beds, couches, where they have a hard time getting down to you. You always have to know your exit options. Mummy caught on that I knew what I was doing and that it was wrong, as I was very careful not to go in the room Mr. Bananas was in. Pastor Bananas would ask mummy why she was late for the church service when the kids could get there on time, and she said she was getting his shoe. After I was done with adolescence, I only tore around with a shoe for old times sake, about once a year. Mom knows my shoe growl; she doesn't even need to look to know.

    I never chewed on them, though. Your sixth pair of summer sandal, and summer is just starting? Ohhhhh, you really mean business. There are no shoe support groups that I know of, but maybe Lucy will set up a shoe group chatboard for us wayward pups.

    In the meantime, has you mummy learned to put her shoes up and away where you can't get to them? It might save her a bit of money.

    Bye for now,
    Zacchaeus, who is curling up to have a good shoe dream

    Nope Zac, this is six pairs since last summer. Mommy thought I was over my addiction. I did too... Sigh
    It really is a sickness. When I chew the strap, I try to keep the shoe in the same place so Mommy doesn't notice until she goes to pick it up...By then, I've forgotten all about it.
    She tries to put her shoes away, but she forgets sometimes....
    She told me yesterday that she loves me more than a pair of shoes....

    Trixie, and any other gifted doggies out there

    Whew! You had me worried there if this were all in the present season. You could be sending your mommy out to be getting a job for the summer just be afford to cover her feet at that rate! That would keep you pretty lonely during these summer months!

    As it is, I am by my lonesome since Mommy is back to grad school, so it has been absolutely no fun this week. She is out the door so early in the morning and not back until well after dinner. She says that she is taking different classes for two whole weeks. When she is home, she is locked up in the bedroom with her computer and books to read and papers to write.

    So all that leaves me to do is get my beauty sleep, and a handsome dog can only use so much of that! Wait a minute, the Cubs lost last night big time, so Mr. Bananas was loud and kept me up. Now they are winning by a lot of runs, so he is yelling out of happiness. I sure wish I could get a muzzle for him!

    Be a good dog, Trixie!
