Hello, I’m Natalie and I live in New England and was recently going thru some old photos and ran across several of my fur babies that I had as a kid:
Growing up my parents took in large rescue dogs. When I was starting high school, we had Oliver, a Saint Bernard and Simka, a Chow. With both dogs in the house, it was complete chaos as they came from families with absolutely no training. They were super chewers. Mom nicknamed them the “Gruesome Chewsome” lol. Despite putting anything in their mouths they could, they had a favorite thing that made them absolutely go nutso every time: My brand brand new soft white leather Reebok Pump sneakers! Back in the 90s, Reebok Pumps were the coveted sneaker.
And being a “sneaker girl”, I had a whole closet full of Pumps. How we found out about their “Reebok Pump sneaker fetish” was quite by accident. I had just started my sophomore year in high school. Mom had taken me school shopping and I got a brand new pair of Reebok Pumps.
The morning of the first day of school I slipped them on and went downstairs to breakfast. I was sitting at the kitchen table when all of a sudden Simka and Oliver came dashing in and shimmied right under the table and began sniffing and licking both of my new Reebok Pumps voraciously. I was able to get away and out the door, but not without some slobber and teeth marks in my new Pumps. Well, Simka and Oliver must have been waiting for me because as soon as I came home from school, they were all over my new Pumps again. I had gym class last period and wore the Pumps sockless so they were really hot and moist. I sat down on the couch to do homework and Simka and Oliver plopped right down at my feet and their jowls immediately wrapped around both new Pumps. They chewed hungrily and eventually pulled the laces out and wrestled them right off my feet. Then, each dog grabbed a sneaker and ran upstairs to hide. I went up and found them later: Each dog had his whole snout buried in one of my new Reebok pumps and had licked the insides of them and filled them with lots of warm slimy bubbly doggy slobber. They were still gooey the next morning when I laced them back up and wore them to school. Here are each member of the “Gruesome Chewsome” with their favorite dessert.
So pretty much after that, wherever my new Reebok Pumps were, so were Simka and Oliver. They were always chewing on them. Even if they were on my feet! Knowing it was full of yummy new Reebok Pumps, they would sit in front of my closet and leave huge drool puddles, just hoping to get inside at the delicious new Reebok Pump buffet that awaited. Eventually Simka got homed, but we ended up Keeping Oliver. He was always on the hunt thru the house for more of my Pumps. He just couldn’t get enough of them.
Mom even decided to wear a new pair of mine to her aerobics class one time. Well, Oliver got really hungry for them and ate them right off her feet as soon as she got home that night. Not long after, he passed away from old age. My Saint Bernard that I have now, Snickers, is quite fond of sneakers too lol.
