First Casualty...

We had our first big casualty by dog this past week.  Too much of this was going on...

and right under their noses Willow was having an awfully good time trying to get their attention by playing with Walker's shoe and since someone didn't put said shoes away or didn't let her know it wasn't hers she decided to play a bit more...

And the velcro tab was just too tasty to leave alone and down the throat it went... evidently this is what finally got their attention. There was lots of shrieking, "Willow ate my shoe!!" and "Bad girl etc".  Little Bug was less than thrilled to learn that it was his own doing and was at fault for not paying attention nor putting the shoes in the laundry room when they were taken off. We told him well too bad you'll have to wear them... since the velcro was actually holding them on the foot, they fell off every time he took a step and so we reluctantly went off to the store.

Got the next size of shoe and much to his disapproval once you get into size 4's it's time for "big kid" aka non velcro shoes... punishment enough he'll actually have to tie them... something he's not thrilled with at all!
