Socks

Laney has a sock fetish which started when she was a puppy. She can find socks no matter where they are. It doesn't matter to her if they are clean or dirty. She can find them under the bed , on the bed, in the bed, or anywhere they are. She even likes to chew on them while they are on your feet. This left me wondering the other day if she had found my sock drawer. It seems that for awhile now my sock drawer is full of singles. The mates have taken a hike. I was thinking that the mates had taken up with Laney or mysteriously disappeared in the washing machine. Out of desperation and frustration, I dumped the drawer of socks on the bed to sort. In a matter of five minutes, I had matched up singles and they became pairs. Feeling a little guilty for thinking that Laney had taken the mates, I tossed her some worn out socks to play with. She was extremely happy and took off with her tail wagging. And, as for me, I am quite surprised to tell everyone that my drawer full of singles is now 27 pairs.
