shoes

Things I have learned from making this shoe:


  1.  not to give up my day job (or night one, come to that) and become a cobbler
  2. that sweatshop labour really is an abomination
  3. that I can't believe I have to make another one

Things I have learned from the dog chewing Tiny's shoe:


  1. that if to a carpenter everything looks like a nail, then, to a dog, every piece of leather looks like a rawhide chew toy
  2. that shouting "drop!" "leave!" "down!" "Aaaaaaah!" doesn't stop said dog from quickly swallowing one half of said shoe

    Was the shoe especially tasty? Has the dog now developed a taste for footwear? Or is just leather in general? Note with a certain measure of alarm that the ravaged footwear has been photographed on a leather chair. The puppy next door developed a taste for leather lounge suites (he was teething at the time).
