Why does my dog like to carry my slipper around?
We have a Dachshund who for some reason, loves to carry my slippers around. She will grab one and sit on it, next to it, or bring it on her dog bed with her. Last week when I was leaving the house, I decided to test something. I put my slippers in the wooden shoe bin, and when I got home, she had pulled one out, meaning she had to jump IN the bin to get it.
Is there something extra special about my slipper that she likes? I can't figure it out.
My dog carries my husband's slippers around...not to chew on them, just to have them near. I think he does it to keep his daddy's scent with him...kind of like a safety blanket with little kids.
My doodle brings me my slippers in the morning to tell me it's time to get up. I call her my valet!
