#Dog #Poop in gym shoe in closet. What to do?

Would a nice dog like me do something like that?

Discovered, possibly a few days old, a rather large, dry grouping of poop/crap/defecation in our closet in the heal of Grace’s gym shoe. 

     Our solution: because it was discovered so after the fact:

1.   Grace will not wear the shoe until the poop is out of it.

2.  We called Gizmo into the closet, showed him the shoe with the offending material in the heel, and we both said, “Bad Dog.”  Rather sternly.  This happened just after he began to run into the closet, a big grin on his face, figuring that something wonderful was about to happen.  He put on the brakes, turned 90 degrees and ran away, hiding under our bed.

3.  The cage, which is still in the living room WILL be used the next time we go out.
