I was enjoying my first morning cup of coffee, when I noticed that my dog was frantically pawing at one of my shoes. I tried shooing him away from said shoe, but he was determined.
I realized I'd have to get up from my chair, to deliver the "no shoe" message up close and personal. Only when I got to where my shoe and my dog were locked in mortal combat, I realized there was a dog treat in my shoe. I had no idea how it got there. I gave the dog the shoe treat and went back to my coffee.Wouldn't you know that the instant he finished his treat, he went to the other shoe, the first shoe's mate, looking for another treat. After coming up empty, he began eyeing my other pairs, looking for hidden treats.
After striking paydirt exactly once, my Jeffie has decided that my shoes are snack dispensers. You have to admire his persistance.
