Oh yes, those little wobbly buggers that come out at night and enjoy spraying your dog and assaulting your nostrils!

Oh My Beautiful Shoes!

8:32 PM 06/10/2020

…And even my not so beautiful shoes. It’s no surprise that some dogs like to chew, and leaving things around can sometimes wreak havoc on our wardrobes. When some pups get bored or anxious, they’ll look for an outlet. Often times it’s the leg of a chair, shoes, blankets, towels, or anything we might leave […]
