Yep, and tea towels, dishcloths etc etc 🤣
Muddling along in the hope that one day it all makes sense.

I found a pair of my socks halfway round our dog walk the other day, she must have smuggled them out the day before without me noticing.

Thank goodness it wasn't knickers  ph34r

I remember one of mine eating socks - he was a nightmare   >:D  straight to vet given cod liver oil to hopefully push it through - nah he had other ideas and regurgitated it at 11pm and it was a race between him and me to get it, thankfully I won  :shades:

The secret is to only buy socks in only one colour.  Doesn't matter if one goes missing.  You can just pair up the odd ones.  Simples!

Its never an issue for our boy tramp.
Hes so laidback he cant be bothered.
Lady on the other hand is now sock mad. She didn't touch them for ages now it's a battle when ever the washing basket comes out. She inspects it for socks every time. We have to put them at the bottom. I'm lucky that I only wear black socks

Today she decided to take one as i put it on i then chased her and managed to get her jaws open and retrieve it . I did think that was a bit too easy, well i was right as she ran back upstairs and took the other one  :'(

Dylan’s fetish is tea towels. We even bought him one for Christmas. Unfortunately he doesn't realise it was for him to dry the dishes.

I find the sock collecting to be very useful. Laurië has a few spots around the house where she keeps her treasures, so whenever I am ready to do laundry, I just check those spots and all my socks are accounted for :005:
