Slice of Mittenlife:

Last night, at 7:00pm:

Me: Hey Gus, where are you?
(my query is met with silence)

Me: Hmmmmm.
(hauling my behind off the couch)

Hubby: He's back here!
(calling from the master bedroom)

Me: What's he doing?

I arrived at the end of the hall, where I met my husband.

Hubby: What's that on the floor? OH GOD, he ATE it!
(tasty doggie smacking ensues)

Me: Um, it looks like he ate your dress socks too.
(pointing to a moist crumpled pile of the floor)

Hubby: Rats. This is my fault. I shouldn't have left the closet door open.
(gingerly plucking the holey socks from the carpet)

Me: I bet he ate a part of your sock. Great. Now we're gonna have to wait for it to reappear.
(sighing)

Hubby: Yep.

I followed Gus into the bathroom, where he spit out something on the floor. I snatched it up quickly, so he would not eat it again.

Me: AHA!!! It is a piece of sock! And it's wet with dogspit. Hey honey, wanna touch it?

Hubby: Um. No.

Good times.

What is it about dogs & socks, huh?? I can't leave a sock on the floor for a second before it's swiped and destroyed! Cute pic of Gus. He's soooo handsome :)
