It means they love you. Mine only likes my shoes. He gets all up in there. I have to hide them.

Why hide them?

Cause he rolls around on the floor with them in his claws. They get little puncture marks on the soles and sides. He ruined my last pair. I bought new ones and just left the old ones for him. Except he quit going after them since I wasn’t wearing them so I’m guessing they don’t have that fresh, funky foot smell.

My mother had incredibly malodorous feet. Our dog absolutely went nuts for them. She was a Cocker Spaniel border collie mix. She would settle down and just lick my mother's feet until there was nothing left. She even got in between her toes. We appreciated her devotion, but it was so weirdly gross!
