As far as toys go, I'd recommend sticking to Kong or Nylabone brands - but then again, I've got a couple of big dogs that will chew anything else to pieces within minutes. I doubt you'll have that problem with a 10-lb dog. But the above two are pretty bulletproof. And if you give her enough toys to play with, she'll be less likely to use your slippers as toys.

That raises another good point that I think I forgot to mention.
If she's chewing random stuff, it's usually a sign that she's bored. You've got a high energy dog on your hands there -- a ball and an hour or so in the yard each day is probably a very good idea.
