Our middle dog, Charlie the poodle, sometimes more formally known as Sir Charles of Wigglesbutt, loves my wife's shoes. And when she's not home, he will take one or more of her shoes and move them to different places in the house. He won't damage them, he just moves them.

This afternoon I took her to urgent care, we were gone over 5 hours. This is what we came home to.

FIVE shoes. Two pairs, one pair of which are steel-toed work shoes, plus an outlier, a worn out pair of SAS. He's shameless. When she goes to work I've seen him carrying a Birk sandal in his mouth, he goes across the room and deposits it in front of the TV or in the dog corner of the living room and just leaves it there.

Personally I think he's a foot mage and he's building a conjuring circle to guarantee her return. And ya know, it always works. I've never seen the actual conjuring, I expect he does it after I'm asleep.

It is the only sensible explanation, after all.

Under the cut is what it looks like with lots of saturation. It's kinda cool, I was working with Photoshop Elements for the first time: I took the photos with my Lumix, and my old version of Photoshop can't directly read the new RAW format. I could load it through Elements in to Photoshop CS6, but I decided to do the work in Elements and get more familiar with it. I'm satisfied with the results, but I need to do more work to see if it'll be satisfactory as a full replacement for Photoshop, which I'm fairly sure it will not be.

“Personally I think he's a foot mage...”

If it works, don't knock it?

Like my friend's dog who barked away all the trains that passed next to their house. None of those trains dared to stick around.

That's quite the shoe shrine.

That is. That is DEFINITELY a show shrine. Do not interfere with Dog Shoe Mage!

(That is AWESOME.)
