The Mysterious Case of Missing Crocs.


 I confess that I love my crocs, I have worn the same pair for years (I think Maddie fainted) and I never want to part with them. They're soft and comfy and it's like walking on pillows. Plus they don't get dirty or stinky. Unfortunately this week my crocs have completely disappeared, I have no clue where they went. I have looked under all the furniture, in every room, on every shelf. I looked around the garden in case I had decided to go barefoot and forgot them there. Still nothing, I even call border security to make sure Mistress Maddie didn't tiptoe across and take them on me.

 I do remember hanging them to dry once but I don't remember where. They have either fallen for my forgetfulness and eventually will turn up in a spot not meant for crocs or there is another explanation. Sometimes I leave them out on the deck, it's very possible at this time of year that baby raccoons came during the night and the crocs being spongy, would be fun to chew and play with, it's very possible that they stole them. Raccoons have stolen cat dishes  and other items before, I'm not surprised, never trust an animal that wears a mask!

Maybe you'll find them when you least suspect it. Hopefully you will!

You'll see some mangey old raccoon wearing them one of these days and then you can fight him for them.

Mistress Maddie said...

This love affair is done.

Poor Maddie! I was wondering what that loud thump was that I heard all the way here! Mads has probably got a concussion! Put some gin in an IV bag, smelling salts aren't going to be enough!
I'm cracking up at Debra's vision of a croc wearing raccoon. If the shoes make you happy, I hope you find them.

Bob said...

Maddie ain't the only one who fainted.
Lord. Crocs? Honey? No, no.

Deedles said...

Bob, you'd be totally adorable wearing crocs and a kilt! Maddie can get a pair to match his yellow gloves. Have I been banned from commenting at two or more blogs?

Hahahahaha
Maddie did faint! I can understand people’s attachment to Crocs, though. I’d need mine bedazzled at least.
Get the raccoons!

XoXo

I don’t see the fascination with them. I believe you when you say they’re comfortable, but they’re not for me.

Mistress Maddie said...

SIXPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your going to get a good crack for JUST ENTERTAINING the thought of a pair of Cro..cro…. those strainer shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I see in those shoes in that fat bearded chef guy.

And yes Deedles....Steven did make me faint...and I always thought it would be something else to make me faint...this will take me time to get over him wearing crocs. I need another lie down......

Michael, I do seem to have the ability to misplace things. Since both are missing, that means they are sitting somewhere.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

John, you work too hard, you need rest... hahaha!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

John, got it! ; )

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Debra, they poop on everything, so he can keep them!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Maddie, that's just great, another boyfriend leaving me!
:D

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Deedles, yes especially since I paid a whole $5 for them!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Bob, come to the dark side, we've got comfy womfy footwear!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Deedles, no you're ok you won't be banned. This blog is like Vegas, what happens on here... stays on here.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Sixpence, there is an actual croc store in Ottawa and you can get the most outrageous crocs that you can imagine.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

HuntleyBiGuy, most men say that they will never own a pair... until they try them.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Maddie, are you sure it's the crocs making you hit the floor? You know sweetie pie, they even have wedding crocs! ; )

Bathwater said...

I am with Maddie on this one. Footwear should be comfortable BUT have some style. The raccoons did you a favor :).

Bob said...

Deedles.
A kilt?Perhaps.
Crocs? Not even dead. I would rise from the casket, rip that hideous footwear off, and die again.

Steven
Some sides are even too dark for me.

RJ said...

I fainted too.

Mistress Maddie said...

WEDDING CROCS???!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

*RUNS fast and furious to the border*

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Bathwater, that is my style! Comfortable!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Bob, I want to see you in a kilt.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Et tu Richard? I'm hurt. Lol

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Maddie, okay, okay you can have the pink ones and I will take the yellow. Geez.

Dave R said...

Oh, dear, sounds like you've got a croc thief in the neighborhood.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Dave, maybe... I still can't find them, I have no idea where they went. I never put them away like in a box or closet because I use them all the time. Even so I looked in all the closets... nothing!

johnmichael said...

I love Birkenstocks...and I would freak if I lost any one of my favorite pairs. My partner does not like them. He comments every time I wear a pair.

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Travel, clearly the penguin stole yours!!!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Johnmichael, whatever feels comfy is right for you!
