Does anyone know where my left slipper is?

[Tab]

Obviously it should be where I "left" it, but methinks one of my dogs has spirited it away.

1. I had a yellow lab once who loved to bring me things that

he would find in the neighborhood. He brought home a steel toe work boot once and it turned out to be the neighbor across the road. Another day he brought home a fold up lawn chair, never did find out who that belonged to.

2. I'll check our dog's stash spot...

It's where all of ours turn up.

May I get an artists rendering of said slipper, there are several here in the corner...

3. I'll bet the dog did it, but it could have slid under the bed...mine do that all the time....

My advice is get a second pair from the dollar store or some other bargain store. I wear slippers all the time I am in the house, so does hubby.

4. What's it worth to you?

5. If your dog doesn't get get excited by bacon this morni... no wait, that's stupid -- nevermind.

6. My housekeeping has improved tremendously under the tutelage of my over-tall

smooth coat JRT, Brigid. She's an equal opportunity chewer, doesn't discriminate against anything. Her last kill was the tv remote. Her older stepsister Molly Maguire, on the other hand, fixates on gloves. But she's so small that it's easier for her to sneak something out of the house. One day on door duty I noticed her head tucked down, so I frisked her and found the glove she was trying to conceal between her chin and chest. Sneaky little divil.

9. yours sneak things out of your house. Mine sneak things in...

Every so often, I'll notice a bulge in Jake, my lab-x's cheek. In the wintertime, it's usually a poopcicle from the barn.

One year, though, he was working on assembling a deer skeleton by the front door. I missed the bulge in his cheek. Imagine my shock when I turned on the bedroom light to turn in for the night...and there in the middle of my bed (really his bed, but he "lets" me sleep on the edge) was a deer's hoof! GAAAAH!!!!

[IrishAyes]

12. Much funnier than a horse's head, no?

Apparently your Jake has a great sense of humour.

Don't know if I'll ever be able to let my 2 furkids on the bed with me. They seldom pause in their tussling, especially around me. Even trying to pet them turns into a wrestling match. I've convinced Brigid, the larger one, to roll on her back for a tummy rub because that makes it easier for me to pet her stepsister at the same time. Besides, Brigid nearly starved to death before she was rescued and brought to me, so if I let her near my face, she tries to cram her long terrier muzzle down my throat to make me regurgitate food. I wouldn't exactly sleep if she could reach me.

[magical thyme]

14. gaaah...I thought only birds did the food regurgitation thing...

Jake cured by chronic back aches by sleeping with his back flush against mine. Heating pad with accupressure all night does wonders.

15. No, puppies will do the same thing if Mom doesn't upchuck dinner fast enough for them.

So far, Brigid has found me remarkably defective that way. It's a pain, yet on the other hand her emotional food insecurities make her easier to control. She minds a lot better than Molly Maguire. I walk around with cheerios in my pockets, and Brigid would do almost anything for one even if she's just gorged on dog food. MM on the other hand just looks at me like I'm stupid for trying to outsmart her. After all, she's the one who guilted me into getting her a 4-legged playmate. She also expects to be fed her kibble by hand while she sits on my lap. Sweet and loving, but she clearly considers me her obedient servant. Which is not too far off the mark.

7. Check the middle of the street.

I've seen shoes and/or slippers there.


I would love to know how that happens.

[mockmonkey]

8. If you had a cat, it would be where you left it.

With a lovely hairball vomited in it.

[rug]

10. Did you check your left foot?

[RebelOne]

11. A slipper of mine has also disappeared.

They were both by the bed. Then one disappeared. I looked under the bed and all over the bedroom. My dog does not take things. I must have a gremlin in the house.

[IrishAyes]

13. My dogs would never take anything either - at least to hear them tell it!

[csziggy]

16. Maybe Dusty took it

[rrneck]

17. Maybe it slipped away. nt

18. "If the shoe fits, don't let the dog drag it off."

(So said my wise old grandfather....not sure what it means, but it sounds good...........)
