I'm beginning to think Bella is either looking for attention or thinks I need more exercise.
I am convinced my dog has a sock fetish. We have had to close the laundry room door since she could peer over the baskets. She steals a sock or two every day. Today I retrieved 3 socks from those drooly jowls. Between dish towels placed neatly or socks haphazardly tossed around the house by a 4 year old and 14 year old, it is impossible to help this dog kick her habit. Even with the laundry room inaccessible there is bounty aplenty.
While my mother in law was visiting over the summer Bella actually went rummaging in her suitcase to find a sock that was "just right". I don't know if she tires of her chew toys, likes the feel of cotton or just likes to see mommy do laps around the kitchen island, through the dining room and into the living room on my quest to save the sock. It's a daily course I've become accustomed to. I've thought of setting up an obstacle course along the way to make it more challenging for both of us. A very subtle track is being formed in the carpet. I wonder if I should simply buy Bella some socks of her own? Then again, she'd find something else to keep herself amused. I wonder if it would be easier to have 3 year old triplets. No that's not a good idea - many more socks to deal with then.
