I'm Going to Beat My Dog

She's a lab, so she chews.  She's a puppy, so she chews.  We have bought her plenty of chew toys, and are certain that we've passed the phase of her chewing furniture and shoes.

However, she's gotten a sock fetish all of a suddenly.  Not just anyone's socks, but mine.  But, she's gotten really smart about where to find them.

Usually when I take my shoes and socks off (with the intention of putting them back on later) I put a sock in each shoe.

Well, yesterday, she went into our room and pulled out both of my socks out of my shoes and proceeded to chew them up.  I was on my computer at the time, so I didn't notice her walking on by with my socks.

I figured that she just got lucky, but no....

I'm working from home today, so I took my daughter to school, came home, took my shoes and socks off and put the shoes next to me at my computer desk, and stuffed the socks down a little in the shoes.

Work actually gets busy, and when I get a break, I get up to go get a Diet Dew in the fridge.   Well, who's out in the family room chewing on a pair of socks?  The dog.  She not only grabbed ONE sock out of a shoe sitting right next to me, she grabbed TWO.

I don't know whether to be proud that I have one sneaky ass dog, or pissed that she's now chewed up 2 pairs of socks of mine. 

Check that....  I just went to let her in from outside....  She has yet another sock.  I have no clue where she got it from, but she's running back and forth with it in her mouth taunting me with it.

Where's my gun... (j/k!)
