Slipper Season

Although this weekend has been something of a reprieve from the cold weather around here, I know this mildness won’t last. So I spent some time getting ready for the cold. I’ve now got my winter coat and Sadie’s winter harness and jacket hanging by the door. My short sleeve shirts have been moved to the upper, hard to reach rack in the closet. And my fuzzy socks and slippers have come out of storage.

I know many people wear slippers around the house year-round, but I usually prefer to be barefoot when I can. But Sadie rejoices at this time of year when I finally give in to the cold weather and break out the slippers. It doesn’t truly feel like winter is coming until I’ve got a Yorkipoo chasing me around the house trying to steal my slippers. Of course I remind Sadie every year that my slippers are not toys, but at least once a week she “forgets” and attacks my feet until I give her a slipper. Then she celebrates her victory by shaking the slipper around in her mouth a few times. Once she’s satisfied that the slipper has learned its lesson, she gives it back to me. It makes me wonder if Sadie thinks she is protecting me from my misbehaving footwear. If so, I appreciate her good intentions, but I’m pretty sure she’s causing more mischief with the slippers than she’s preventing.

Stick with the Toys, Sadie!

I think I see some mischief in this flashback photo. Little puppy Sadie has a bone shaped toy, a tennis ball, a tug-of-war toy, and a shoe? The little sneak managed to steal my sandal! And look what happened as soon as I tried to take my shoe back from her:

The silly puppy tried to claim the sandal belonged to her! Sadie now understands the concept that shoes are not toys. Except for slippers apparently, which seem to become toys when Sadie’s feeling extra mischievous. Check out Slipper Wars and Sadie the Slipper Stealer for some of Sadie’s slipper mischief.

The Battle

The other day at work, Sadie decided she was bored and needed to find some entertainment. That’s when she noticed some movement out of the corner of her eye. Sadie’s Grammy was bouncing her foot up and down while typing at the computer. Sadie looked around, determined the coast was clear, and made her move. Before anyone could even blink, Sadie had launched herself out from under my desk and grabbed onto that bouncing slipper. A tense battle ensued, with Grammy desperately trying to hold on to her slipper, and Sadie equally determined to steal it. You can see who won.

The victor with her spoils!

Sadie the Slipper Stealer

Another form of mischief Sadie enjoys is slipper stealing. She loves to sneak around and take one from the floor and then prance off with her prize. If you’re not careful Sadie even tries to steal a slipper right off your foot when you’re sitting on the couch or a chair. Once she gets a slipper she runs around the house with it, trying to get you to chase her. If no one chases her, Sadie will shake the slipper a few times to make sure it won’t give her any trouble, then she will lie down and fall asleep curled up around her prize. Of course once she’s asleep she doesn’t notice when I call her, so then I need to go searching around the house to find the sleeping puppy and the missing slipper.
