Crocs

Ok, I guess I'm not supposed to own Crocs...those wonderful flip flop shoes that leave your feet and ankles feel like you're walking on air. I had a pair. They were comfortable. I loved them so much that I didn't want to wear them out or wear them too much at camp. I put them in a drawer...AND LEFT THEM THERE!
Oh...I was sad! The cost...the comfort...something I could NEVER purchase in Paraguay (oh yes, they have fake ones).... I had a broken heart for days...months...a whole year. How could I have been so careless.
Someone asked me what I wanted for my birthday and all I could really think of were those wonderful Crocs that I didn't have anymore and so I asked for a pair for my birthday.
Ever since I got them I used them EVERYWHERE, and EVERYDAY.
Today, I even let Edson put them on after I got home from school. He likes to walk in mommy's shoes. I was busy shutting the gate behind Oscar, distracting Edson from his daddy leaving, we played tag a little bit and I dragged him in the house away from Sasha.
Two hours later I went outside and found my comfy, little Crocs in shreds beside Sasha's sleeping face.
This dog has got to go! This is a nightmare! I cannot bear to let go of my second pair. Ahhhhh!

I'll pray for you! The dog is already entrenched in your family lifestyle, and nothing short of throwing the dog out will change it. Sorry about your crocs. I could all several dog related experiences we had...like chewing up all my new tupperware lids after our fire, shredding the TP all over the BR when he was banned to the BR when we left the house, chewing the new bedside stand when banned to the boys bedroom, etc. I could go on and on and on! (And we kept the dog. Yes, I learned to love it, too!

I wish I could send you a pair in time for your trip- but that isn't going to happen. I had the same problem with my Bass sandals. I left them in a motel in Chincoteague one year and they had to send them to me. Then I just wore them out wearing them all the time and now they don't make them anymore. I feel your pain.

Quizas simplemente necesitas cambiar tu actitud acerca del perro y todo sera bien. :)

I'm gonna pay for that. The good thing is I'll get to play with Sasha before Karen has a chance to read this. Heheh...
