Dog Destruction...

Virgo takes the cake!
Pit hasn't destroyed an awful lot. He used to have an obsession with gummy shoes like rubber flip flops, gum boots and crocs. He didn't really destroy them, but he liked how chewy they were, so they'd always have teeth marks.
The worst he's done was when I had just given my landlord a 1500 dollar cheque for damage deposit. That very night he proceeded to find a little container of rich orange clothes dye, gingerly spread the powder on a large area of light beige carpet and then lick it all to get the colour stained in there nice and good. Brat had a bright orange nose for a few days..
Other than removing every eye and nose off of all his stuffed animals, he hasn't ruined anything else.

Peewee isn't much of a chewer maybe some kids toys as a puppy. Ivan hasn't been too bad. But he has chewed my glasses twice, and dentures. Out of all of the dogs I've had my dal before Ivan was by far the worst. She ate a brand new pair of dress shoes, playdough and the containers, barbies, stuffed toys, blankets, pillows. The shiny metalic christmas wrapping paper, the wooden chair legs and a VHS tape. Ohh and all 3 seem to like certain items out of the bathroom trash can.
Well where I start....
RB got in to maybe 2 pair of shoes and 3 different remote controls for the TV. Oh and there was a time when he was about 8months when we had to put him in the bathroom b/c a guy came at the last minute to repair something in the house, and this happen in less than 2min. when we went to take him out, we found all the toilet paper (that was inside the cabinet) in the bathroom ripped apart. It looked like Christmas in there. The funny part is that he was inside the tub chewing on the paper.
Kiana... She is another chew monster. She has gone in to my closed closet and once took all of my shoes out. Thank god she only found 2 pair that seem tasty to her instead of the whole thing. She chewed up the table legs, ripe out the sofa and has gone in to the garbage plenty of times. We still don't know how she learned to open the counters

Lets see...
Ozzy has eaten an iPod.
iPod's leather case (40 bucks!)
Busted a crate so bad I couldn't bend it back straight.
A couch.
Several of my mothers shoes.
Hundreds of my sisters stuffed animals. (She used to keep them in a baby crib. Not anymore, cause he ate them all)
Books! LOTS of books! Books that I LOVED.
A 300 dollar pair of headphones Steven had bought for school.
Several sets of sheets.
Towels.
Shoes, at least three pair.
And all of this was with 10 to 15 minutes unsupervised.

Haha. I should have specified that better.
Some of those were separate instances. (I'm a slow learner...)
He ate most of the shoes at one time...
The iPod, case, headphones and books he got in one go...
The sheets, over the course of months..
Towels, he STILL rips towels when I bathe him. He now has a dedicated set of "Ozzy Towels"
He busted the crate and ate the sofa on the same day (ironically, the same day he turned six months old...)
And for some reason, he only ate the left shoes of my mothers two pair that he got. He took the right shoes back to his crate and slept with them...

King: Phone line going into the house. That's it! Period!
Molly: Nothing, zip..nada. Only dog I have ever heard of that didn't mess anything up.
Past disasters:
Farfel:1965, entire ham, five or six pounds. Put him out for about 12 hours, but no other side effects. Taught mom that he could go anywhere in the kitchen! Worst actual item destroyed was a chair my mom's grandmother had given her when she died. It had an odd smell, and I guess that's what attracted him. We went up to the airport to pick up the foreign exchange student we had that year, and her plane was delayed for a long time, and Farfel was alone for almost 14 hours, and the chair was pretty much destroyed. My mom was pretty upset, but forgave him in a day or two.
Joe, 1977. Ate a hole in the wall and almost got out of the house! Only the chicken wire in the stucco slowed him down until I got home.
Blackie, 1977: she ate my brand new boots. I wasn't sure who did it, until the "evidence" reappeared.
Gus, 1985:The mother of all chewers: The carpet, seat belts radio wires, vent knob, door trim, and sound deadener of the van I bought the day after I got him! Eighteen months later, the destroyed items included house carpet, door trim, a door corner, a table leg, a plastic dog bowl, a pretty rare book, about a hundred magazines, and a few shoes, and a lot of socks. A whole lot of socks. And a few pillows, too.

Let's see. . .
The worst thing Lizzie ever did was chew the carpet up right around the entrance to the hall bathroom when she was a puppy.
Blaze, hmm, the worst thing he's done so far is chew about an inch peice off my tennis shoe. Still wearable though.
Jake? Too many little things to list. Its like he's teething all over again.

Not a whole lot thank god!!
Nothing recent, she doesn't even destroy her toys really... they just get gentlely chewed, never chewed up.
When we 1st moved (so she must have been around 8 months ish) she ate my sisters show (well, you will leave it in the hall) and my dads antique book... one of a set. THAT I felt bad about......!!
But even that was a little nibble, not complete destruction.
She DESTROYS sticks on walks though. I mean, she must save up all her chewing energy for those....

Well, this wasn't in my house but when i got my first guide puppy, Garth, to train, we took him home in our car on the first day and put him on the floor in the backseat between my legs with his head under the front passenger chair. The next day my dad noticed that the airbag light was on and when we took it to the shop, Garth had chewed through the airbag cable. They had to take apart the entire car to replace it and it cost 4,000 dollars. Thank god for insurance.
