I mean really! Somebody please explain to me this phenomenon. How do several flip flops just go poof? At first I thought it was the dog, but now I'm having second thoughts about it. Yet, ANOTHER flip flop has gone missing!Here's the scenario. I was home alone. Both exit doors were locked. All doors in the house were closed. I made note of this because it was hot that day and I was trying to get the A/C to circulate in the main parts of the house. The main open parts were the kitchen and living room. There is a small area in the back entrance that we use to store canned goods, the washer and dryer and the dog's bed is at. We also take off our shoes at the door and leave them there. This is where two of the three have gone missing from, hence the dog being blamed. The dog has never been caught in action. Not a trace has ever been left behind.Earlier in the day, I had gone out with the flip flops on to check on the farm animals. I took them off and placed them inside the back entrance with several other shoes. Both dogs were inside with me. About four hours had passed and I decided it was time for the dogs to go out and I had to run some errands. I walked over the back door and put on one flip flop. I looked in between the two sets of shoes for the other then realized it was missing! How could this be! The pit bull was standing in the kitchen looking at me because he heard the magic word, "outside". I took the flip flop off and I actually asked him if he took the other one. He sat down and wagged his tail at me.I thought I was going to be smart and I tossed the flip flop at him joyfully to see if he would fall for the trick and snatch up the shoe and either eat it or go running to his secret hiding spot that seems to only exist in another realm. The flip flop landed right in front of him! YES! Finally I'm going to get to the bottom of this and unite all of our flip flops that are missing their partner. He looked at the flip flop, got up and walked right passed it and past me, over to the door and sat back down. He sat there and patiently waited for me to open the door and let him out. He had no interest in a stupid inanimate object. That is for pups.So, there I stood feeling very stupid because I've been outsmarted by a dog, yet again. To make myself feel better my ego stepped in and came up with the excuse that it has to be a ghost with a shoe fetish. I've moved all the furniture and looked behind and under every other thing in the house and I sit can't locate any of these missing flip flops.
Could There Be a Ghost with a Shoe Fetish Lurking in My House?
