Tasty Tuesday



Many of you may remember the story of HER favourite
 navy blue Birkenstocks.

 They fell victim to Bella's teeth.
SHE didn't throw them out straight away which lead to the
famous travelling-halfway-'round-the-world wearing
one black and one blue sandal incident.

Those sandals were replaced IN Germany and the whole transaction took place IN German.  SHE even had to correct the size SHE was given.  The kind sales ladies complemented HER on HER German.  SHE was very proud.

Alas, those sandals were modified by Roxy.


 
 Roxy chewed the centre strap.  However, once cutting off the straps, they could be worn again.

Until.........

 Roxy decided to modify them once more.
 And they were thrown out.

Another pair was ordered from Germany.

SHE took great care of them.

Until...
this weekend when we had beautiful sandal weather.

 
 Some peeps never learn.
I hadn't chewed any shoes for weeks!
But there's just something about good German leather.

And besides, I was just keeping the family tradition alive.

  3. WE remember the entire BI-Color Shoe Travel incident... VERY WELL.
    AND we remember the removal of the center strap... Birkie Revitalization ..
    AND how PROUD your mum was of her ingenious solution.
    WE believe that this is a FAMILY TRADITION and SAGA that was BOUND to continue.
    BTW we see that once again the RIGHT shoe was selected... being consistent is very nice.
    We are PROUD of you Dui... fur keeping the tradition going. BRAVO

  11. I would have chewed them also. German isn't that useful around here, so I bark in my native Spanish, having been born in a Mexican puppy mill.

I remember the great taste of the leather between my toothers, and the way the leather would tickle my tongue as I slobbered it good to make it nice and supple....oh, I thinks I need to head to Ma's closet to gets me a good leather hightop....see ya!
    Oh...Nice job! ☺

  28. I was just thinking that maybe the German's should make their leather taste lousy and SHE won't have a problem.

  30. German leather must be pretty tasty... *LOL* You still have the option of cutting the last strap off or... urmm.. improvise. No doggy was guilty i am sure. It was Birken's fault.

  37. Some peeps are really slow learners. Our Dad only learned to put the tv remote up after Tsar ate three of them in two days.

  38. Hey mum, look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a brand new car. LOL. PJ had bitten out every mudguard he could sink his teeth in. And since that wasn't enough, he ended up biting the fender too! On a brand new 2014 Pajero. LOL.
