Does that include dog destruction? Unfortunately, in this case, I actually paid cash anyway. My friend owed me $100 and I wanted to get rid of the $100 bill so I used it. Figures, the one time I pay cash for something instead of using my debit card. |
| So sorry! Know that feeling all too well. My dogs were good at stepping on the back of my sandals and causing the piece between the toes to yank out when I tried to take the next step. (And, trying to put me face down on the floor)
Today I was going out, and just as I got to the car I felt something weird between my toes. That piece broke and was just hanging there. Told my sister, "Well, I can't blame this one on the dogs." 
Looks like we'll both be out shoe shopping.  |
That sucks Jill! 
In one day when Peanut was a pup he ate or chewed on every one of my high heel shoes in my closet.  They cost me a pretty penny to replace. I also wanted to kill him. Instead I just made sure to keep all chewable items out of his reach. He could no longer get to my stuff so he would eat Ryan's toys.  He eventually grew out of his chewing, but not until around 2 1/2 to 3 yrs old. |
| Crickeys there is no business like shoe business, I'd be venting too.
Naughty, Naughty babies, heck hard to go crook at them, boys will be boys, especially with that adorable face bear has, butter would not melt in his mouth by the looks of him, geez don't destroy my vision of a cute komodor boy |
 OH DEAR, THAT DOES SUCK!!!!! Damaged beyond repair??? Is it possible that a shoemaker could "fix" it or at least make it wearable??? |
| Maybe take them back and say" What's with giving me chewed up shoes?!" |

wouldn't that be nice? |
| Too bad. I would have been steaming, too . . . |
| So whats the count now? One pair of shoes and one purse? Who did the purse? I dont remember!
Were the shoes black??????? and if you give a good description of them, we can mourn properly! |
| I do wardrobe and whenever i'm in the middle of a huge project, I have about 6 racks of clothes and up to 40 pair of shoes in the house.. Stella is in shopping bag heaven. she eyes everything with the intent to rip it apart. I learned to gate the living room off fast when she chewed a $500.00 pair of D&G shoes, and i had to pay for them. |
| Hey Mark...Jil probably wears the right size...same as your models.....big feet....6'0'' talll.....hmmm, can you replace the one shoe |
| No, I'll just use them on another project.
The thing is, whatever I don't use on the project, goes back to the stores. I doubt Neimans would appreciate tiny chew marks. |

Perhaps they'd appreciate utter destruction then? It was a giant wood platform heel and he shredded it, actually pulling the top of the shoe from the heel. So, no Ginny, there's no fixing it! |
| I wear either a size 10 1/2 or 11 depending on the shoe which are not real easy to find. My closet has louvered doors and London discovered if she bumped it a certain way it would open up enough for her to get in it. 4 pairs of black shoes, 1 pair of navy blue shoes, 1 pair of brown shoes (All of those were dress shoes since I wear suits to work), 2 pair of flip flops and 2 pairs of slippers. Most were not totally distroyed but all had puppy teeth marks and scrapes on them.
We now have a latch on the closet doors to prevent this from happening again. Jill, my sympathies and complete understanding. |
| I hear you. Earlier this summer, we were invited to a wedding. I spent a lot of time looking for new shoes and found a couple of pairs. I wasn't sure which I wanted, so I took both, intending to return the ones I didn't choose.
Hah. Sophie and Sherman got the one that fell to the floor and my decision was made for me. |

Actually, me too. I always say that too but somehow I still have over 300 pairs of shoes even after giving away 2 giant boxes last year so I guess I'm not having that hard of a time. These I really loved because they were an almost 5 inch heel but fit my foot so well that they were really comfortable. Aftwr I bought them, I wore them around the mall to try them out and they felt fine. Now I wish I hadn't taken them off to drive. |

I set my bags down on the couch when I came in the house, went to the bathroom and grabbed the bags and took them upstairs. The dogs were super excited when I came home (they hadn't seen me all day) and they started playing really hard downstairs. Well, it turns out I missed a bag that had some new shoes that in it on the couch. It apparently got knocked on the floor during the dog wrestling and Bear got a hold of one of the shoes and used it as a toy to taunt Clyde. I came downstairs just as it hit the floor. As soon as he saw me, he knew something was up. I'll tell you, I seriously wanted to kill him for a second. It was I could do not to scream at him. There's $125 down the drain and I never even got to wear the flippin' shoes. I'm so mad!
last year, jack devoured my hat. Living well is the best revenge. I wore that hat more in the month that followed than I had in the 3 before he ate it. |
| Next time you go to give away 2 big boxes of shoes - send them my way. What I can't wear the dogs could use as toys. |

Ah, fellow sister's in shoe hell!!!!! |

| Lol. Why am I giving my shoes away to strangers then? You guys are welcome to my extras anytime you like. I'm notorious for buying a pair of shoes to match and outfit and then never wearing either the shoes or the outfit again. It leaves me with a lot of extras! |

| You guys need to come out here. It seems like there is always a rack of 10 and up shoes!
Jill, we're going to plan a vacation to L.A. just to go and play in the clothes at Mark's house!!!! Where's the drooling smiley face when you need it? |

Thanks, but heel days are over. Anyway, I wear wide now.........gravity you know.  One shoe person said, "you have such a flexible foot" which is trade talk for "sister, your feet are flat."
And when my feet swell because I'm here at the computer for so long (on oes.org??) shoes must be extra wide . One day my feet were so swollen I hobbled to the nearest orthopedic shoe store and said, "anything, please." I came away with men's 9 6E. Honestly, they look square! |
| I can honestly say if you added up all the money I have spent on
shoes in the last 15 years, it would amount to less than $125! I have very few shoes. I am almost always barefoot, unless I am leaving the house. From March to late November, I usually don't bother with shoes. I don't go anywhere I have to dress for, so I only have one good pair of shoes! I bought those when my mother died several months ago, along with the clothes I had to buy cause I didn't have anything to wear! I have the shortest widest feet ever. It is just easier to not buy any! Here's the kicker - for the last 5 generations, my family's business has been... yep, shoe manufacturing! Shellie |
| NOT THE SHOES !!!
When Bailey was a puppy he chewed up a very sexy high heeled sandal that I loved and I said to Tim, "you'd better do something about your dog or I'm going to start wearing flats". Tim loves women in sexy shoes so that was a big threat. I'm not sure what kind of conversation they had but Bailey has never eaten another shoe |
| I just went and bought new ones and added the experience to the "be more careful about leaving things out around a giant 1 year old puppy" list. It was my fault. I'm pretty sure most of the problem was the fact that when it fell, it fell right on his bed so it "clearly" was his. When he gets excited, he loses all recognition of right and wrong things to chew. When Clyde was his age, when he got excited, he'd gnaw on whatever was around almost like a nervous tick but he grew out of it. I hope someday Bear will be the same.

me either! |
| Me neither.
Butterscotch don't feel bad, at least you got to wear them. I bought really cool shoes in Vegas once and Bunker ate one the morning I got Back. I was ready to kill her or make a rug. I've never seen a pair like that since!!! |
I'm so sorry!:cry: Know that feeling all too well  |
| Jil,
I'm feeling your pain. Pip has destroyed 1/2 of my (unfortunately) modest shoe collection. Too bad your feet aren't smaller, I could really use a shoe donation! Shoes are now jealously guarded in the always shut closet in my room. Just a few days ago Pip totally destroyed my digital thermometer. Luckily, I got all the parts away from him before he swallowed anything Ah the things we put up with!!! |

Butterscotch don't feel bad, at least you got to wear them. No, I didn't, which makes it even worse! The new ones that I bought are now safely tucked away on the top shelf of my closet. I'm wearing these at least once! Most of the time, I have to say, they're all pretty good. All 3 of the dogs have full run of the house while we're gone and nothing gets touched except a roll of toilet paper on occasion. Apprently it's when I'm home that I have to worry about. |
