I ate my dad’s new boots – so he brought new ones – and I ate those too
Charlie was a constant chewer, which he has now outgrown thankfully … But he doesn’t look remorseful at all
Those boots were not meant for chewin’

Shoes are the breakfast of champions
“I ate my mom’s shoe for breakfast. And I enjoyed every moment.” My 6 month old golden retriever Felix finally discovered how fun chewing shoes can be. If only he had picked my boyfriend’s shoe instead!
This is how I avoid exercise
I have my mum and dad search high and low for their shoes every single day! I feel no shame and keep on hiding them! Love Alfie x
Shoe Lovers
Kodah & Goldie BOTH love the souls of our shoes….
A Good Cause
I ate these Toms shoes for a good cause… To help poor dogs like me who prefer shoes than chew toys.
Adoptable Fridays – Ethel
Ethel is a two year old miniature schnoxie or possibly a wirehaired dachshund mix. She is available through A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue & Fixin’) in Cookeville, TN. She is very loving, and after she learns to trust you will never leave your side! (Seriously, never, not even when you are in the shower or using the restroom.) She loves snuggles and belly rubs, and is more than willing to help keep the dust out from under your bed in exchange for being allowed to sleep on it! Ethel would love to have a little partner-in-crime/playmate her own size, but would be fine as an only dog as well. Her current foster home has three other dogs, but no kids or cats. We do know that she is fine with older kids, and she has been friendly with smaller kids during adoption events, but she has not been around any cats that we know of! Ethel shares a dog bed with her foster sister at night, and when the alarm goes off she jumps up, tail wagging to ensure that her foster parents do not oversleep. She would also like to add that she is a baby-gate hurdle champion, and is willing to pull her weight by making a careful inventory of your shoes. Ethel is mostly housetrained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. She can be fearful of strangers due to lack of socialization, but has made great progress in this area. She needs a home that will continue to keep her socialized.
For more information on Ethel, please check out her profile here. Ethel is currently fostered in Cookeville, TN but transport is available to the Northeast and Chicago areas!
Can’t I just wear a sign, like all the other guys ?

Adoptable Fridays – Ham Solo
I chewed my foster mom’s sandal straps, now they won’t buckle!
Ham-Solo, who we call Hammie, is one of the sweetest pups we have fostered from Home For Good Dog in Berkley Heights, NJ . His fur is mostly black with brown highlights on his head and ears and little white spots on his chin and chest. He is very submissive and rolls to his back whenever my full grown lab noses him. He is adorably inquisitive about how things like garden hoses, training wheels and refrigerators work. He is happy to sit sweetly and let my 4 year old and all her soccer buddies pet him. When walking around the neighborhood people can’t believe how young he is because he is so calm and easygoing.
The Destroyers
Caesar, Cicero, Hiram, and Brutus came to live with me when they were about 3 weeks old as foster pups (part of a litter of 13 dumped at the local animal shelter). No one ever wanted them so they are my boys. This was them at about 7 months old. Now they are a year old and about 70 pounds each. Through this year they have chewed and destroyed sheetrock, 4 pairs of shoes, fabric for a quilt I was making, seats on outdoor table chairs, footboard of a bed, telephone cord, computer mouse cord, no-line trifocals, lined trifocals, car bumper, flashlight, carpet in the back room (it is now just a dog room), numerous dog beds, azaleas, dwarf nandinas, mimosa, ,tablecloths, bedspread, miniblinds, mattress pad, garden hoses, soaker hoses, $100 electronic collar, new dog collars, and 7 chairs. They have also scratched up hood on car and throw up in car every time they have to go anywhere. They have torn down fences and have dug up huge areas of the yard. I still adore them.
Editor’s note: You are an amazing dog-mom! Keep up the good work!
Moose vs Boots
I only eat expensive footwear.
