I am so sorry we weren't able to answer your question sooner. It sounds like Tofu needs some training! She is still a puppy, and none of these behaviors are abnormal for a puppy who hasn't learned otherwise. It can be dangerous...eating shoes, etc can cause a blockage in her intestine that may require surgery.
