That babies do it too! My dogs and my mom's dog are famous for collecting shoes and putting them in a pile as well as chewing on them. I don't know if my daughter has seen them do this and has picked up this bad habit from them but she does it too! Her favorite thing to do is chew on my flip flops.... And she will grab as many as she can get her hands on and make a pile of them. We now have to keep all shoes in one spot and create a "road block" so she can't get to them. lol.
Re: I knew dogs did it but I didn't realize
C is obsessed with my shoes too, especialy for chewing! I keep going back and forth between worrying what I've picked up on the soles walking everywhere and going 'eh, he's happy for 15min.'
And my friend's daughter (20mos) wants everyone to wear shoes all the time. If someone takes their shoes off and she sees they're barefoot, she brings your shoes over to you and tries to put them on.
Maybe she was trying to tell you crocs are ugly.
