Oh My! Well, now I know where to send all those shoes that my girlies grow out of so quickly…
They were cute shoes too!!!
Cute shoes!
Did Digger sneak off and talk to Mojo about the joys of shoe chewage?
Adorable Mojo. Such a scamp. 😉
Poor shoes. I hope they’re not the kind that shrink in fear. Er, not that it’d make much difference at this point, huh?
Mojo’s too cute for his own good. 🙂
Poor shoes! They really do look distressed! Mojo, what did they taste like?
Hmmm. So Mojo has a shoe fetish. Veddy, veddy interesting. Paging Dr. Freud! Emergency! Come right away!
Groovy, repeat after me: “Shoes are not for chewing, not even if they’ve been outgrown. Shoes are not for chewing…”
I thought so, too, LaurelWreath. My sis gave them to me. I can still wear them, though, if the pants legs are long enough to cover the hole.
Yes, Kristen, I wondered if Mojo got on the phone yesterday! Please tell Mr. Digger to keep his shoe-chewing tips to himself.
Honey, these shoes are in shell shock. All my other shoes are shrinking with fear. And this is the SECOND time this dog got one of my shoes.
They tasted like fine, Corinthian leather, Welshcakes. Like the forbidden fruit that they were. Like, WAY better than a certain bulldog’s dog chow. Heh!
Shoe fetish, Angie? I think he has a “Whatever He Can Reach” fetish.
Oh Bonnie you have such self control! My urge to make that dog a permanently outside pooch would be strong! Those were nice shoes but the blue suede ones were much prettier and had to have angered you much more! Can you tell i’m not a dog person? 🙂 Mojo is cute though, I’m a OPD (other peoples dog) person.
Well, Bonnie, it must be going around- Chewing One’s Humans’ Things, I mean.
Bayou discovered last night that Sumi had chewed a hole in her favorite scarf last night. At least it’s still wearable, like your shoe. Perhaps a visit to a cobbler might help? Maybe he can mitigate the damage a little.
Mojo is killing me with laughter. And, so are you Bonnie.
Those shoes looked so nice and comfy, Mojo just wanted to help you break them in and turn them into the ‘hanging around the house and digging around in the garden shoes’ without you having any guilt pangs about it.
Good, Mojo. Good boy!
Uh Oh. Looks like Mojo And Dodger are from similar tribes!
Our borzoi ate my wedding shoes last week. I’m still to cranky to post about it. 🙁
LOL…sung to the tune of the 60’s Sam and Dave song….”He’s a sole man!”
Mojo, if you were my dog, I’d have to paddle your butt, even if you are cute. Cute is not a license for chewing what doesn’t belong to you, mister.
Nothing is safe or sacred from the KING!
I think the shoes should count themselves lucky that they are not a doormat …they were only nibbled the doormat did not survive.
You know the expression “You’re lucky you’re cute”? In Mojo’s case, it’s “You’re lucky you’re cute and hilarious.”
Those are really cute shoes. Too bad they have a huge bite mark. Long pants!
I had the most wonderful pair of dress shoes once. They were a marvelous brick red, with stacked leather heels. They fit perfectly and where the only “high” heels I could wear all day and not want to kill anything when I got home.
Then I got a puppy. *sigh* I loved those shoes.
Mojo is still chewing. All’s right with the world!
I love the shot of him sitting/perching/whatever it is that bulldogs do on your legs. It’s like he just got *really* tired of standing and just leaaannnned up against whatever he could find. Well, if bulldogs leaned, that is. 🙂
I have to ask though – I am somewhat curious about the whole “stinky bulldog” thing. Does Mojo have a specific eau de bulldog aroma, that is exclusive to a bulldog? If you, as a bulldog person, were to enter the home of another bulldog person, without knowing per se that they *were* bulldog people (i.e., they kept their chewed shoes hidden away, for instance), would your nose alert you immediately? Clearly, if I were (a) a bulldog or (b) a bulldog person, I would know these things. I am, however, a corgi person, meaning that I cater to a fairly non-stinky dog, who is permanently on a diet and thinks that he’s the Queen.
Ooh, I want to apologize for not responding to all these comments sooner!
Squirrel, those weren’t blue suede, they were blue fabric, but still, they were MINE, and that booger ate ’em up. But you must remember, this is Hubby’s dog, and somehow he has wormed his way into my heart, too, the little stinkmeister.
Lachlan, that’s what my sister has suggested. If they could just trim around the torn area and nice it up a bit, I could still wear them. Like my mom says, “nobody will notice [fill in the blank] on a galloping horse!”
I hope I don’t kill off Steve, that’s for dang sure!
M.G., that’s not quite the spin I wanted to put on it, but it’ll do.
Yes, April, in fact I’ve got some mysterious long-distance calls to Texas in my phone bill. Are you sure Dodger doesn’t know how to use that phone? I think he and Mojo are comparing notes.
Heather, wow! When I was a kid, our borzoi were never much into chewing. They always acted like they wouldn’t be caught dead doing any typical dog stuff.
Bonnie!
Lesia, trust me, his butt got paddled.
Bernita, you’re encouraging him!
Dink, you’re right about the doormat. I tried trimming it down, but he and Clara finished it off.
Vaguely Urban, in this case, he’s lucky Hubby will put up with it. He’s really Hubby’s baby.
Erika, I agree. Even if the cobbler can’t fix it, long pants will cover it up… but there IS a fang hole by the toe.
I don’t think so, Elizabeth!
Peacemongermom, he loves to sit on feet, too. I think he’s just trying to make sure we don’t sneak off without him knowing.
Now, about the stink: bulldogs are famous for the Three Stinkies:
1. Stinky gas (front and rear)
2. Stinky skin (they love to roll in the dirt)
3. Stinky wrinkles and folds.
A bland bulldog diet is the only way to keep the stinky gas down to a minimum. Any dietary change can cause a night of gas so bad it’s guaranteed to peel the paint right off the walls.
The stinky skin is fixed with regular bathing. He needs a bath AT LEAST twice a week. The stinky wrinkles and folds are taken care of with twice-weekly cleaning. I use hydrogen pyroxide and a zinc oxide-based ointment. Some bulldog owners don’t do this and their poor dogs get really stinky and itchy.
I think people can tell when they walk in our house that we’ve got a dog, because he IS pretty smelly, but it isn’t as bad as a bulldog home where the dogs aren’t kept clean and fresh on a regular basis.
