I'm just wondering if this is a pittie thing, or a general dog thing... none of my other dogs before I had pit bulls did this.
So Dharma has been settling in and getting to know the house. She has spent her entire life until now outside on a chain, and then the past few months at HSMO's warehouse shelter. My other dogs loooooove to eat socks. We call them the Great Puppy Sock Hunters, because they can always find them no matter where we try to keep them. On Dharma's third day in house, she really started to feel comfortable exploring and she found SOCKS. I doubt she has ever seen a sock in her life. But she found a basket of clean laundry with my fiance's socks and now she is OBSESSED with hunting them down. She gets so excited and zooms around with it. Which is exactly what my other boys do. I just think it's funny how excited they all get over socks! Naughty but adorable! ;D

she learned from your dogs. Or maybe your laundry detergent is meat-scented? ;-)

Boomer doesn’t really go after my socks! If one of my socks gets a hole in it I will tie a knot on the end and let him play with it (It tears after we play tug-o-war with it once:) ) I agree with emilys, she learned from your dogs!

Since we are doing the Two Week Shut Down, she is not interacting much with the other dogs. That's why I thought it was so funny... she can't have learned it from them. Maybe the detergent does smell like meat!

LOL Dogs like socks because it has our scent. Our scent is very comforting to a dog even washed.

They like socks for the same reason they like hats - the sweet smell of you and yours. I think it is a dog thing, not just pits. Many years ago i had a cocker who loved socks. Her whole life she just hunted up our socks.

Mine had shoe fetishes. Socks too, but to a lesser degree. I think it's the fact that they are carry a strong human scent. Same reason they tend to go after underwear. ;D

Ok, seriously off color... but my boyfriend's dog, Foxey (the chihuahua) finds the undies and manages toget her head through the leg and races around the house, like she's wearing a captain america cape. Hilarity.
