I have a 9mo staffy/kelpy cross & she really is the loveliest dog BUT I'm ready to kill her!! She eats DD's shoes and its driving me nuts!! THREE pairs now! I let her in the house this arvo & thought she was being good but found she had snuck DDs NEW shoes out and had munched on them. My shoes and DHs shoes are everywhere and don't get chewed - why only DDs? Is it because I'm the alpha that she leaves my shoes alone? I didn't catch her chewing them, she's too smart for that, so I couldn't tell her off about the shoes, though I did shake them at her and YELL a lot I was so furious!!!!

Now DD has no shoes and we have to go out - gum boots it is
