Do other people live like this? ( I'm just askin' . . . .) I keep an exercise pen beside my back door. All boots and shoes are placed in the pen immediately upon removal from your feet. If they are not placed in the pen . . . . . . this is what they will look like. Sad, isn't it? One is tempted, when one steps in the back door . . . . . . . to kick off one's boots and set them against the wall beside one's sorting stick But that would be a mistake.
So let's re-cap!
Boots in the pen! Boots outta tha pen!
One would also be tempted to place the blame . . . . . . . . solidly on the shoulders of this little suspect. "Who me?" But that would be an incorrect assumption. (This is the suspect responsible for cramming his head through the door and scaring the sheep when you are wondering why they won't move in that direction.) So no, the little red monster is not The Boot Bandit!
The title goes to this clown . . .
For some reason, this goofball developed a taste for rubber boots during last winter's rains. It would appear that he hasn't lost that appetite . . . So I ask you again, do other people live like this? Comments:
Only those of us who have their priorities straight! Cage the boots (electrical cords, sofa, and that particular corner molding on the wall) and let the critters be free. :)
At least until the training is finished. (Ours or theirs?)

I've known people to put that very same pen around their C'mas trees to keep the cat out of it. We'll see if our kitten needs help staying out of the tree this year. :)
As for the eaten boots, just keep out of 'deep shit' and you'll be okay. You can now only get in 'ankle-high shit'

Of course they do! And when I drove a full-size van to trials, there was a special security crate in there to keep stuff away from the dogs.

who us? no of course not...uh yes...expens around everything so unfortunately most of the time it looks like I'm in the ex-pen and the critters are outside. when I think I'm done training I get an 8 or 12 year old pup that decides something that's been around for 10+ years like my glasses on the night stand are worthy of eating!

i suspect this is one of those questions that very quickly separates the 'dog people' from everyone else!
