To have shouted at DH for laughing?

We’ve had our lovely dog for 4 years. She’s never been destructive, even as a puppy she never chewed or damaged anything and she’s had the full run of the house since she was 8 months old.

Just lately she’s become obsessed with my shoes. Only mine, nobody else’s. She constantly steals them, throws them around and hides them. She isn’t chewing them.

It’s been going on for about a month now. I’m finding my shoes on the sofa, in her bed, behind the chair etc.

Christmas day my son bought me some lovely new slippers. By Boxing Day one of them was missing. I was so stressed out trying to find it and DH was just laughing. Eventually found it under behind the sofa.

This morning I was getting ready for work and couldn’t find one of my work shoes. Searched high and low, couldn’t find it anywhere. Asked DH to help me, he was just laughing whilst half heartedly looking for it. Eventually found it in the garden, wet through, totally ruined. DH was in hysterics, I had to go to work in trainers (I’m a nurse). I ended up shouting at him to stop fucking laughing! AIBU to have snapped? He wouldn’t find it funny if it was his shit going missing and getting wrecked.

YABU put your stuff away

My dog will sleep anywhere as long as she’s with me.
When I’m not home, dog will only sleep in my room, so my husband has to leave his room and sleep in mine. He gets annoyed. I find it very funny!!

Laughing at someone who is clearly stressed and not finding a situation funny is a completely dick move.

This.

Our DDog steals shoes (everyone's though) and it can be funny but if you're clearly stressed and trying to leave for work it is not the time to be laughing about it.

I don't get why anyone would find this funny, sounds annoying as fuck. Especially the work shoes. Could you get a dog proof box or keep them in a cupboard OP?

I agree

What is funny about this?

Not funny. If the Shoe was On the other foot ( sorry) he'd be laughing on the other side of his face. I'd be tempted to hide one of his that he needs urgently in the morning. Laugh and make merry.
And for goodness sake put the bloody things away 😑.

Maybe wear a pair of his so they have your scent and see if she takes his. If so you can then have a good laugh.

My cat used to stealDH gloves ( they were white and fluffy, maybe she thought they were kittens). It got better, she took to stealing his dressing gown chord instead.

get her a shoe of her own ( a human shoe, obviously, not a dog 🐕 👠) and put the odd treat in it to keep her interested.
