We heat with wood, too (we're in Colorado), and I also got tired of those
missing slippers in the morning -- usually the ferrets had hidden at least
one of them someplace where I couldn't find them.  I solved the problem by
buying them their own pair of slippers last Christmas -- big, inexpensive,
fuzzy ones from Wal-Mart.  Now they like theirs better than mine (which
aren't so fuzzy), and my toes no longer turn blue while waiting for the
stove to heat up in the morning.
 
Try it, they'll like it!
