Third time is a charm

I think I love my dog.

But she has tested my love for her, shoe after shoe.

I do NOT even want to think about the money I have spent on Bird Dog's "chew toys".
And then the money I have spent to replace them.

I can not even tell you how many outfits have gone uncutiefied because of the lack of wooden wedges, spiked stilettos, and ripped out insoles.

If you don't believe me, just ask Buddy Bird.
He was sent out solo on the day of my wedding to buy the replacement pair of black stilettos that matched my pre wedding outfit.

Buddy Bird. My shoe size on a scrap piece of paper. The Nine West store.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in THAT store.

For some reason, Bird Dog also love the material that crocs are made of. I think it's because she likes how it squeaks in between her teeth.
And it just so happens that I am on my fourth pair.

Bird Dog has become very cleaver about where she hides her addiction though. I have found shoes under the bed, tucked completely under her dog bed, pushed to the very back of the closet - the list goes on. In fact it wasn't until I saw the CROC button in her crapola that I knew she had finished off my third pair.

Folks, I know they are ugly as sin. But OH my heavens - they are like walking on clouds.

There is a point to my story.

As I hope you all know the LPGA was in Kingsmill this weekend. Don't worry, a "tolfer" blog to come. Thousands of golf fans walking all over the neighborhood. It set the stage for some good ole' fashion people watchin'. I, of course, did just that.

This one particular lady immediately caught my eye. She had on a cute outfit perfect for LPGA watching and I was taking some mental notes. As I was skimming her outfit, I finally made it down to her shoes. Simultaneously, I noticed how my feet were aching. After all, I was on hole 14 in Rainbow flip flops. This genius of a lady had found the perfect pair of shoes that incorporates both style and comfort.
Wedge. Crocs.
I was S.O.L.D. - immediately

After all ladies, we all know what wedges do for our calves.

I went online this morning and order these babies. They come in ALL sorts of colors, but I fell in love with this color combo.




Now before you croc haters start getting all up tight, just listen. It's not like I'm going to wear these to Greggie's high school reunion or anything. I think that they will be perfect though, for my marina loving self! Wash the sand right out of them, and they will be dry in no time flat! Or grab a beach towel and head to the pool. Also, crocs are great because you can wash them and odor is kept to a minimum.

Hey vinegar feet - you should try these!

The best part about my summer must-have purchase is that I was able to find an online coupon for FREE shipping! Just google croc coupons, copy and paste the code and you are golden.

I also googled and purchased an electrical shock chip that you can insert into the heel of your new shoes.

Next time, Bird Dog goes after her favorite squeaky pair of shoes, she'll be shocked into next week.

One step ahead of you Bird Dog. One step ahead of you.
