What a Croc!

Today was rather uneventful; my companion (I'll refer to her as MC) took several naps. This means I was either wrapped up with her in that gawd-awful snuggie or stuck in my crate trying to look interested in one of my toys. Don't get me wrong... I think naps are a terrific thing, but only when they are my idea first.

As you can see from the photo here, I did find some amusement in the day. With the weather beginning to (slowly) change to warm, MC has started wearing these weird shoes she calls "crocs." I have no idea what she sees in these shoes (or any shoes for that matter), because as far as I'm concerned, they're a waste of good chewing material. Needless to say, I have been trying to communicate this fact to MC, but she is not taking the hint well. I started by delicately taking the shoe in my teeth while her back was turned and parading silently through the living area. MC ignored this, however, which left me no choice but to announce that I had the shoe. Once she came to investigate, I gave her a polite play bow and showed her how much fun it is to chew on these shoes. Well, she was so excited, she decided she wanted to try it herself and attempted to grab the shoe. I am too fast for her, though, and was behind the couch in a second. I have to make her really, really want to chew on these shoes. And nothing increases desire like deprivation.

The demonstration ended when light refreshments were served, which turned out to be a little piece of Pupperoni, a sorry excuse for a snack. Sadly, the shoes disappeared during the snack break, and I was unable to continue the demonstration the rest of the afternoon. To those of you who are a little more savvy when it comes to shoes than MC, I advise you to experience all the advantages of shoes. Because if you're only wearing them, you're hardly getting your money's worth. And crocs are expensive!
