Bella found object sculpture

Ok, so here's the silly little story of Bella's found sculpture of shoes.

As anybody that is lucky enough to share their life with a crazy little k9 knows, there are many little weird and out there things that our little better halves tend to do. One of Bella's strange little quirks that she does when we are out is that she will go and collect right shoes. Yes, just the right, never the left, we aren't sure what it is about right shoes that she likes so much or rather what it is about left shoes that she doesn't like, but she has done this since she was a pup-pup and she has never chewed or destroyed a pair of shoes yet (nor anything else for that matter except for a Toulouse-Lautrec book and we aren't sure what it is about Toulouse that she didn't like, but she can be a bit of an art critic at times).
Anyway, one of her favorite things to do with the right shoes that she collects is create interesting little stacks or patterns with them. She doesn't always do the collecting of right shoes and make these weird little sculptures, it's really rather a 'whenever she gets the bug' kind of thing. We (the silly humans, who are too easily amused) call them Bella's found object sculptures. The funniest is when she picks up a right shoe and carries it around and even sleeps with it. The shoe is then hers until she decides you can have it back and if you try to trick her with a left shoe she will turn nose up to it. Left shoes are just not her bag, man. She is a silly little thing and definitely smart enough to know the difference between the left and right shoes.
