Shoe Shopping with Kona

I know I've mentioned Kona's shoe fetish in the past, and this morning I caught him red-pawed. I walked into my bedroom, as he sat in front of my closet shopping for a new pair to drag out. When I'd left my room this morning the closet door was closed, but does that stop him? Nope, it sure doesn't. He slides it open with his nose, and grabs whatever he wants.

I went looking for a matched pair and didn't have any luck...but here are all of the shoes I found JUST FROM THIS MORNING!

Apparently he's in a flip-flop faze, like his Momma. That's my boy!

From Thursday...

This is the post I was trying to post on Thursday evening and never had any luck with. So here, in an effort to play catch up...

Hasta Luego-San Diego!

For a change, I am the one in the family that gets to do a little traveling for the next couple of days. Hubby has been traveling here and there quite a bit lately for business - he was just in Sacramento Tuesday and Wednesday and has been in the mid west several times in the last month or two. As I am typing this, I am on a plane bound for the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I am going to visit with my brother and his family, and for the first time I get to meet my "nephew" puppies, Bogie the Boxer, and Raider the Boston.

Of course I will miss my own family and fur babies, but I am looking forward to a little change of scenery too. I know that my pups will miss me, and I am pretty sure that Kona could tell that something was up today. He was walking around all morning with not one, but both of my Ugg slippers in his mouth. Thank goodness I don't mind his slobber...

San Diego sure looked pretty as I departed! What scenery from the air!

Missing something?

"Good Morning Momma, were you looking for your sandal by chance?"

Kona's Shoe Fetish

Kona has a shoe fetish. I've known it for a long, long time. He collects them from the far ends of the house, carries them around, snuggles with them at nap time, but never, ever chews or damages them in any way.

I believe he prefers my shoes, but when I've been careful and put mine away in the closed closet, he will settle for any one's. He's even been known to go "shoe shopping" - meaning he'll scoot my closet door open with his nose and see what he can get off my shoe shelf.

He is a goofy, goofy dog. And I love him, and all of my pups so much.
