Things your dog has eaten or destroyed

[shais_mom]

Shai when I first got her and shut her in the bathroom, she chewed apart my bathroom heater, the trim on the door, out in the garage she ripped apart curtains, and chewed on the garage door, talk about separation anxiety!!!
And she chewed the cord in two on my new electric blanket last year, I don't know how long it was apart, I wondered why it wasn't heating up! It was lucky it didn't start a fire!!

Oh, you guys reminded me of another thing Hannah chewed....the corner of a book from the library..and which the library made me replace (gee, it was just the corner) and guess what....it was a book about dog training.

oh yea I forgot to tell you that Zues also loves to go through screens. So I thought well I 'll just have to keep the windows shut. nope he learned to grab the handle and open the window! So know I have to lock them. So since he can't get out now to come and find me he has chewed all the window frames off! And the handles off the windows.\
Talk about seperation anxiety!

That makes three of us that need major window work!

My Shepherd mix stray was an adult, so she didn't really chew . She just loves to eat the bread. But my Husky, Dakota, did his share of damage. I have a hole in the carpet in the toy room from him. He chewed apart linolium. He chewed up a camcorder, my wedding pictures and my wedding video. We were able to save some of the pictures and piece together the camcorder (thank God for duct tape), but the video was destroyed. My Rottie would eat the disposable razors. Talk about fear. He must have had an iron stomach because he had no injuries and we never found the blades, so he had to have eaten them.

This is not really on subject but one of the pooches, and I am pretty sure it was Graham because he's bigger and stronger, took the dog bed off the floor that was in a completely different room, drug it through the kitchen and then the living room and pulled it onto the couch where it was promptly lyed in We came home to see Graham curled up in his "nest" as we call it that was sitting on the couch and Cassie was leaning up against the nest on the couch If only I had a camera setup running when I was not home, would have LOVED to see Graham in action

I guess I was lucky Merlin really was never alone as the chew monster stage. Most of his was as he was older and we did leave him a plastic mug and a cd case. His big thrill is paper he loves ripping up newspaper still to this day (4years old) We try to keep enough bones and toys around, now he's taking the cat toys to cats aren't too happy about that. Good thing I have a heavy duty shop vac to get all the paper.You'd never thing the sofa spud would move to do so much ripping. Paer mache' anyone?

My 15 month old husky Kodi, has never realy chewed up anything expensive so i quess i should be thankfull for that. He does like to steal things though when i'm not looking. Anything hes not allowed to have he somehow finds but he usually drops it when i come up to him. I guess hes playing some kind of game with me. Kodi will rip the head of any stuffed animal in a matter of seconds and spread the stuffing all over the house and he also has a thing for paper and klennex. His favorite toys are things he finds himself like empty plastic containers and sticks not the kind you get from a petstore. Outside he will chew down saplings and shrubs and this one spot on the deck. We do have a little problem with digging though!

I can't believe I never replied to this message! The question should be....things your dog has not eaten or destroyed!

Honey and Lilly are the masters of destruction, digging and chewing, and I thought they would outgrow it! Last summer, I lost 4 pairs of shoes in two weeks, thanks to Honey. Lilly is more discreet, but just about a month ago, she chewed the plug right off of my new vacuum cleaner. They love plants of all types, especially those that are freshly planted, or those with flowers. Guess what, there are no flowers in my backyard! And last night, my two year old wonders decided that the fringe on the oriental rug tasted real good. There is a four inch section missing now!!

I could read these over and over again! the images are great - graham dragging a dog bed, more than one pup shreding kleenex, shewed cup handles! i just love it....its making my tuesday. and then i am reminded that i owe my mom a new screen door as Bug decided that she wanted in regardless - and proceeded to shred the screen. Funny thing is mom didn't get mad at all, she just laughed...there was no "Your dog" or that dreaded tone of voice that all moms have. In fact bug is the first dog that my mom really likes so at her house bug knows she can pretty much get away with anything (of course if my mom saw all the stuff animals i have secretly stitched back together she may have a different opinion of bug! )
pet talk - its always a joy!

Logan:
Do you think that Golden Retrievers have a thing for plugs?
My first Golden, Natasha the Red Menace, unpluged the refrigerator and chewed up the plug when she was a puppy. Don't believe for a minute that growing older made her any wiser.
Through the years, she destroyed just about anything that she found interesting: shoes, paper towels, tissues, the list is too long.
She also managed to eat a full bowl of green beans, that I had left on the counter to cool down, when I was expecting company. Needless to say, I had to change the menu.
I'm happy to say that my next two Golden girls never touched anything that did not belong to them.

[Daisy's Mom]

I love these, hehe! I know I have postes these before but they fit the topic so well. Daisy eats the trash quite frequently. If we leave the house and forget to put the trash can out of reach, this is what we come home to...







Yeah it was cute the first time but it's definitely not anymore! I cleaned up the same garbage twice this week! Daisy also eaten a thermos while at my friend's house, numerous bike helmets, almost all of her stuffed animal toys, millions of bugs, a roll of toilet paper, and beleive it or not, my homework! She really did! She devoured two math worksheets. I actually had to tell my teacher, "My dog ate my homework!"

Logan, boy can I relate to the digging! Bella has been a digger since the day we brought her home. She tends to go back to the same 3 or 4 spots and re-dig there! I have filled those holes lots of times but there is some strange attraction there. We had a large tree taken down because it was making shade in a good part of the yard and causing grass to die and moss to grow. Well, today I was outside with Bella scraping up the moss and planting seed and she was in her glory! She saw me working in the soil and thought it was a new game we were playing. It was hard to tell her it's OK for me to dig but you can't!!

Bandit doesn't chew. Jeffrey, on the other hand...
- 4 remote controls.
- The wiring in a floor lamp (thank God it was unplugged)
- 3 pairs of shoes
- 2 hair brushes.
- The leg of my rocker ( I was so proud of my $75 dollar flea market find!)
- My NEW glasses with the expensive non- breakable, anti-glare lenses which he managed to chip. I couldn't even use the lenses in new frames!
- The mini-blinds in the kitchen window. He watches for my car there.
