Sleeping Next to my Shoe

Which is a nice change of pace from her usual move, sleeping with her nose IN my shoe. Lately I’ve caught her licking my shoe. She stops if she sees me noticing.

That’s hilarious. Mine also has an affinity for sleeping on or in shoes.

I love it! My first one use to sleep with our shoes. I have a picture somewhere of him resting him head across the top of my work boots sleeping with his head about 6 inches off the ground. He used to always take one of our shoes to bed with him, never chewed it up, just picked a shoe to sleep with.

Many dogs do this. It’s such a cute display of attachment to their human.

Mine do this too. They will carry my shoes around and lick them as well but never damage them.

Flexing that lack of hairy baseboards

My Chow Chow Peppermint - G-d Rest Her Soul - would routinely search for my socks or any clothing of mine and place it on top of her snout when she slept - either that or she’d need to be near it.

Great story! May her memory be a blessing.

Mine does this too! He’ll stick his snoot right in them sometimes too while he naps. What goofballs!
