There was a thread here maybe a year ago about how many different items had been chewed up by our Pet Talk doggies. Some of them were unbelievable! My comment to other family members when we first got Bella at 8 weeks of age, was "if you care about it, put it way up high." Puppies will be puppies. Make sure Max has a lot of acceptable things to chew on in the meantime. This won't last forever. Oh, in the case of Bella though, now at the age of 2 1/2, she still can't resist the urge to poke her head in the bathroom trash can and grab a tissue and shred it into 100 pieces. Yuck!

P.S. Welcome to Pet Talk! I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and now live right over the bridge in NJ!
