As an avid shoe lover and collector, I do attach a somewhat silly importance to my shoe collection. I fetishize my shoes, meaning that I elevate them to a level above food, shelter and clothing, to put it mildly.

In my life that happened to me when I visited the International…

Pedialyte into their mouths and I took my two rat-squirrels home. I got them home and realized I didn’t have a box for them to sleep and live in. After thirty minutes of searching the whole house, I finally found the perfect fixings for a squirrel home: a shoe box, old t-shirts, and a heating pad.
