I got this wonderful little monster from a shelter 6 years ago.
She was a crazy, unruly spazz as a puppy. She pooped inside one of my shoes once. Destroyed a recliner (it was barely recognizable as a chair when she finished).
But I can honestly say that she’s the best damned dog I’ve ever had. When I tell her “I love you,” she barks three times, every time.
Anyway, that’s it. That’s the post.
Why did she poop in your shoes? That sounds like cat revenge behavior. Was she mad at you?
Most likely anxiety as a pup, especially if you have to go out. My doggo did that as a pup but is the most calm doggo as an adult. The shoe was probably at the door where it's close to outside where they go to poop. My current pup is not as calm right now, but loves to play so I appreciate that.
Seems like it was a separation anxiety thing. I stepped outside for a moment because a friend showed up, and she seemed panicked? Like I wasn’t going to come back.
Admittedly, as gross as it was, it was funny. I just pictured her being like, “Oh, you’re going to go outside for a moment to say hello to your friend? Well take THIS.”
