"Just Checking!"

If you look closely at the bottom left-hand corner of this picture, you will see a pointed ear, with fur on it. Yes, that is the ear of our Corgi, Jasmine. Now, you see that 'Shabby Hamper'? It contains the VERY things that Jasmine LIVES for~my shoes!!

Since Jasmine came to join our family nearly 2 years ago, she has managed to destroy SEVERAL shoes, making what used to be a "pair" totally worthless! She was always quite sneaky about the whole deal: she would grab one when I was preoccupied with some other task, & head STRAIGHT for her carrier, which is where she: 1) sleeps 2) runs to when she's in trouble 3) burrows in to eat on shoes and other 'treasures' she manage's to cart off when noone's looking!
This little hamper became a necessity, placed strategically by the front door, to deposit our shoes in to keep them away from this little scoundrel! Little does she know that with only a slight nudge, she could upset the lid & dive into "Shoe Heaven"! (I wonder how many things that look insurmountable in my own life carry the same amount of ease to overcome???)
