I take back every single nice thing I ever said about him. I never should have bragged about how dog training was going so well. Ozzie is incorrigible and will never be a good dog. Ever.
These are brand new designer shoes I paid a bloody fortune for, and wore for a total of about 30 minutes. I just bought them TUESDAY for heaven’s sake. Did I mention they cost a fortune? Look at that.
I have one very very naughty Welsh Terrier, from champion blood lines, who cost a gazillion dollars who, right now, I would give to the very first person who said they would have him. Let’s hope I feel differently before I get a hundred offers for him. Seriously. I am sick about these shoes. My first and probably only orange python gladiator style wedges I will ever have in entire my life.
He is staying outside for the rest of his short life. I mean it. Let him chew on the garden hose for all I care.

Naughty Ozzie! We can compare notes – Jack our now departed Airedale was also impossible to train, incorrigible with chewing. We had the only car in Australia with Airedale improved mud flaps. As for the garden, let’s not even go there.
It was worth it though and we still miss him.

WOW. That is one bad fellow.

Oh lord! Those shoes are so luscious, too. Oh my I love those shoes. You have the best taste and oh I’m mad.
This was a dern “Capital Offense” we call that around here. He bloody well can stay out there and chew that dern hose! He’s so completely busted on this. I certainly hopes he realizes we are not speaking to him as of NOW! And another thing, I dont want to see those sad eyes and get out of my sight while you’re at it because the next thing you’re eating is a shoe. …and oops…I thought he was coming before the LeeHaven Tribunal.

Rut Ro as Astro would say. Did you actually see Ozzie do this number on your orange python gladiators? I think someone is trying to set Ozzie up, I refuse to believe he did this after doing so well in school. LOL

Oh my god Nikki. That is so sad. And I can completely understand you feeling “sick” over the whole thing. If I totalled up the amount of underwear, pants, shoes, bras, CARPET, more carpet, pillows and QUILTS handmade by various people in my life, my Lulu has chewed, I would cry. I would throw up. But, think of the joy that the little stinker gives you, the companionships, the kisses and cuddles. He is your baby and I bet you will (eventually) forgive him. I completely understand where you are right now. Damn dog!

Nicole,
I love, love, love your blog, and I adore your work! Ozzie is beautiful, and when I see photos of him, I so miss my soft-coated wheaten terrier (who was also stubborn, often obnoxious, and strong willed!)
That said, I have one question: However did Ozzie open the closet door and get to the top of your closet where, I’m sure you put your delicious, expensive orange pumps to avoid having the little scoundrel get to them??

Let’s say the dog has good taste in shoes. Orange shoes, oh what a shame, orange is my favorite color and then shoes are about one of my favorite things to buy and own other than fabric and purses. I feel for you.

Oh, poor Ozzie. I’m sure he didn’t mean to ruin your new shoes. Were they put away where he couldn’t easily get to them? *s* You can always buy another pair of shoes, but there’s only one Ozzie. Look at that face! Give him another chance…

I knoe you are sick, Nicole, but he is only a dog, albeit a cute one. As my mother would say, you should have known better than to let him find them. I am so sorry for your loss of those shoes, and I would have done the same thing you did, but I wouldn’t have waited for someone to come get him, I would have taken him to the pound right then. What a mess! That is one reason I don’t like dogs.

Oh, no!

Naughty, naughty, naughty. My Gator has eaten over $600 worth of shoes and she’s nine years old…..do the math and keep your closet doors shut! We always tell guests to keep the bedroom doors shut because she frequently offends when we’ve left home and friends are in town visiting. Bad, bad puppies.

Oh do I remember those days. Those memories stop me everytime I see a cute little puppy. You lost shoes (gorgeous shoe, by the way!) I lost a pair of diamond earrings and one gold hoop…I wish my dog liked shoes! Now that she is 13…I laugh. It took the full 13 years!
Ozzie looks really happy to be outside…hehe!
Hugs,

Hmmm- maybe you can take the shoes back and say they didn’t fit properly?

And I love how in the last picture you can see Dennis has carefully put HIS shoes up on the bbq to avoid being Ozzied.

First of all, I have to apoligise for calling Ozzie an Airedale. With that in mind, I want you to know that if we hadn’t just got a new puppy, I would take him off your hands. He really is so cute and I mostly wear tennis shoes and slippers – no expensive heels.
However, we now have Maggie, a scottish terrier puppy. My friend Becky called and said, “Jean, you have to come and see her. She has the sweetest temperment!” Yea, right. We call her Maggie the Terrible! What a little pistol! She has already learned to climb stairs, chew cords, and attack toes. Seriously, we love her, but as soon as she is old enough, it’s off to school for her. Not the one you sent Ozzie to……..

Now Mom. I know you’re upset about your shoes. But just look at that face. Lock up all the shoes and ironing cords, and let that boy come inside–or put him on the next plane to Alabama.

Lol* I do feel for you! I have a 10 month old pug named Yogi, and he is also a chewer. I give him toys, but for some reason, he likes wood. He is confined to the kitchen with only supervised romps through the house, until he outgrows it. I think, though, that he is attempting to break some sort of record, chewing all things wooden in the kitchen at his level – he’s even chewed right through a solid wood slat on one of my cupboards. Thank goodness I’m a yard sale shopper…nothing ruined so far was all that expensive. He tried once to claim one of my favorite quilts as a chew toy…NO!!! I put an end to that immediately! So sorry about your great shoes! 🙁

Oh Nicole, I so want to comiserate with you and say how awfully sorry I am, but really — I am sitting here cracking up. And I mean really laughing out loud cracking up. Still. From the reader perspective, you’re scrolling down thinking how awful and sad and then….that hysterical picture of Ozzie. That’s SOOOO funny. He’s in Jail and he still has a smile on his face. How can you be mad when you see that face??? Dang it — I wish I lived closer — I’d be glad to take lil’ Ozzie for an extended time out!!!!

Ozzie’s face is just a picture!! I had to laugh out loud when I saw the photo.
I haven’t had a dog in a long time but when we did I remember losing a pair of shoes,a hat, a corner of a towel (which we carried on using for years) and pairs of knickers too numerous to mention (don’t leave wet washing on radiators is the moral of the tale) when our dog was a young dog. More recently (still a good few years ago as my children are adults now)I lost numerous pairs of knickers to chewing pet hamsters (the cage being too near the dirty washing pile in the laundry room)
Hopefully tomorrow you have forgiven him a little bit!!

Hi Nicole,
Omigosh, Ozzie sure can do in a pair of shoes or an iron cord. Looks like school will be in session for a while for Ozzie. I remember those lovable pups who could chew stones if they were desirable. Wish you luck.

Look at those shoes! Oh dear, Ozzie did a real number on them, didn’t he? How do dogs know to chew on only expensive things? They seem to have a knack for it! Ozzie IS a very naughty boy, but he sure is adorable! I’m sorry, Nicole!

oooh bad dog! I couldn’t help wonder whether your house insurance would cover the cost of the them…or whether they could be repaired….can you tell I’m forever the optimist. I’m sending you some cyber (((hugs))) as I truly can feel you pain. Hang in there :o)

We also have a Welsh Terrier. She is a joy, but also doen’t do a thing she is told to do. She graduated puppy classes and even passed the Good Canine class with flying colors. We would work with her all week and she was so disobedient but when class time came around she performed with flying colors. What a character! As bad as she can be we wouldn’t trade her for anything.
Good luck with the classes, I know Ozzie can do it but only if he wants to! I was thrilled when you began showing pictures of Ozzie, it is nice to read about his adventures. Our pup is now 8 years old and just as fiesty as when she was 8 weeks and 8 months old. Enjoy your sweet wonderful pup.
