Gus has made himself right at home with us - it's like he lived here forever. For the most part he is excellently behaved - he even comes when called (unlike certain Malamutes I could name). If he has one vice, it's his love of shoes.
And I do mean LOVE:
ALL THESE ARE MINE I FOUND THEM THEY ARE MINE
He's very gentle with them - there's never a tooth mark anywhere, they're only a bit damp. He simply seems to enjoy moving them from one point to the other and arranging them in small collections. These he moved from their official spot by the front door to his favorite napping spot by the back door.
I HAVE PUT THESE WHERE THEY BELONG THIS IS MUCH BETTER NOW
It's great that he's such a good guard dog and all, but we're not quite sure how to explain to him that he's not supposed to guard shoes.
I AM GUARDING THIS SHOE YOU CANNOT HAVE IT
OR THIS ONE THIS ONE IS ALSO MINE
Fortunately he's not always stealing shoes. Sometimes he just looks cute and floofy...
Happy Floof!
I LOFF HIM!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's very squeezy...
DeleteThat's hilarious! My GSD has done that but not to the extent your Gus is!
ReplyDeleteAt least Gus isn't the only one!
Deleteadorable!! one can never have too many shoes ;)
ReplyDeleteApparently not, lol!
DeleteBest shoe guard dog out there!! What a clever floof :)
ReplyDeleteYes, our shoes are safe. Er, from what, I'm not sure.
DeleteThank god the shoes are finally safe.
ReplyDeleteFrom what, I'm not sure.
DeleteOh the floof! What a good boy not chewing them up at least. It's cute that he moved the boots in pairs to the back door. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a lot of trips to make for four boots!
DeleteHaha! No one show my teeny dog this post. So far, his resource guarding is limited to dog toys. He doesn't want to play with them. He just doesn't want anyone else to, either. THEY GO THERE OK NO ONE MOVE THEM.
ReplyDeleteHahaha Elias does this too. He collects ALL THE TOYS and then he lays on them. Very effective.
Deletelol what a character!
ReplyDeleteGood thing he's cute!
DeleteToo cute!! The shoe fetish is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOnly when you're not living it. If you're actually trying to find your shoes, it's not cute at all.
DeleteHaha, silly dog. I just want to hug him!
ReplyDeleteHe's very floofy and squeezy, it's true!
DeleteMy black lab loved flip flips and would collect them and pile them in his bed :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, he hasn't touched the flipflops yet. Maybe he only likes expensive leather shoes?
DeleteOh my goodness FLOOFY!
ReplyDeleteSo floofy. All over the house floofy.
DeleteSo much floof so much cayute ♡♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteYes, we have extra floofs roaming the house this time of year. Not so cute... ;)
DeleteThis made me laugh :) Love Gus!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I know a flat-coated retreiver who does something similar. When Jack gets excited he grabs a shoe to carry around :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, what IS it about shoes??!?!
DeleteAdorable!! So much floof!
ReplyDeleteI'll send you the extra.
DeleteI was right. This is an excellent post. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it! :)
DeleteThats adorable
ReplyDeleteIt would be even cuter if he brought them back ;)
