I gotta wonder if ancient woman had as much trouble keeping her socks and unmentionables away from the dogs as I do! Put 'em in the hamper and next thing I know some hound has them out and is proudly carrying them across the living room just as I open the door to visitors. Got a really special, expensive, foundation garment? Not anymore because it got hung over a doorknob in haste. Be sure to check for pink lace during poop patrol. Forget to pick up those exercise clothes? They now have new ventilation holes where none were needed. OY!

Admittedly, these incidents don't happen as often as they used to because I'm more careful since "The Puppy" came into my life. He's 3 now but he's still a trial and I suspect always will be. But now he has a new victim. My Love has a habit of leaving his socks tucked into his tennis shoes. I would be a rich woman indeed if I had a dime for everytime I heard the question, "Sweetheart, have you seen my other sock?"
