How To Repair The Shoes Your Dog Chews

I love animals, especially dogs and cats. So, as an animal lover, I am well adjusted to dealing with what comes with owning them. My cat sleeps on my clean clothes and pukes up fur balls that I always manage to step in when I'm half asleep. And my dog, a golden retriever, sheds a fur coat every day. Luckily for me, this is the worst of what they do. My dog has only ever chewed one pair of brand new heels when he was a pup and has no interest in shoes whatsoever now. 



I know it can be stressful and infuriating when you find a chewed up pair of shoes and a cute dog that has no idea that those were mommy's favorite pair. BUT don't lose complete hope! Some shoes can be repaired with a little glue and creativity. Hell, you might like them even better. 

My aunts poodle decided my cream colored flats looked delicious one afternoon, so I rummaged through my craft basket and kept my glass half full. Here is an idea of what you can do, ladies.



As you can see, she got the back of the shoe pretty good. The other shoe was spared. I found some scrap lace and cut an even amount to put on the back of each shoe.


I love E-6000 and use it for many projects if sewing isn't an option. It does need a bit of time to dry, which I don't mind because it gives me the option to adjust pieces if I need to.


Finished project! Very simple and easy to do. 



So rummage through your craft area or head to your local craft store. Lace, rhinestones, and little flowers are a few items you can use to repair and revamp your shoes. Plus, now they are unique and even more you!
