I am still puzzling over HOWINTHEHELL those two got that bag of flour down from the top of the refrigerator 
Then, to make it even more of a mystery, they spilled a bunch of it in the closet in the dining room.
Didn't spill a drop all the way through the hall and foyer they had to go through to get to the bedroom . . . There was probably a good 8 pounds of flour strewn all over the bed and floor - a good portion of it dried to an epoxy-like hardness. Stuck like epoxy too.

Buster went through a stage of chewing brims off caps... that was all lol.
That and he left 2 toothmarks int he DVD remote. Thats all eventhough he wasn't always supervised.
Sophie was always a good girl except every now and again... like every 12-15 months she'll destroy all her bedding at once, even if we stop her she'll be back at it as soon as she can until its all destroyed. It might be when she decides she wasnts new stuff lol.
Mac liked to chew EVERYTHING
Harry liked electrical chords, he was very closely watched.
None of them have ever completley destroyed anything really though

As a dog owner I have faced the following...
I felt tired of the smell of dog pee or pup inside the house, I have been disgusted with cleaning the mess which my dog leaves inside, I grew sick and tired of yelling at my dog because he won't stop barking, I got fed up with my dog while destroying my shoes, rug or furniture, I have grown frustrated with my dog when I call him twenty times but he won't come, I felt powerless when my dog barks at the neighbor's kids or run after cars, I got annoyed when someone knocks at the door and my dog goes nuts barking, I worry every time when I took him for walking and I see another dog coming your way, knowing that my dog will go insane when he sees the upcoming dog....
These are all my problems with my dog... If anyone have or found any solutions please share it.....

The worst "destruction" that Fozzie has done was on the stair bannister. Ever since he was a puppy, he has loved laying on a stair with his legs flopped over the side, and his head in between the railings. Well, when he was about 5 months old, apparently he decided that one of the wooden bannisters would make a nice chew toy while he was relaxing. D: He didn't chew it badly, he just left little teeth marks, but it's kind of a difficult thing to replace.
Gonzo really hasn't destroyed anything. Reaaallyyy. He has always just known what's his to chew on, and what's off-limits.
Ironically, my bunny did 10x more damage than my dogs could ever hope to do; he would dig up FEET of carpet, through the foam, if he was alone for a minute! Not to mention the wires (that I thought were completely hidden and inaccessible) that he expertly munched through. (his name was Munch, after all) Puppies are a piece of CAKE, to me, as far as destruction... Bunnies on the other hand...

Morgan has yet to do any major damage to any of our own belongings... he's nibbled off the edges of a pair of sneakers, and the front ends of the rockers on our rocking chair... but nothing that completely ruined anything.
So far, the only things he has completely destroyed are all the beds I've made for him. I think that will stop once he's fully trustworthy outside the crate during the day, though. He tends to do it while we are at work if we leave a bed in his crate.
Our cats are honestly WAY more destructive that Morgan is. They've broken glassware, photo frames, shredded parts of the couch, chewed up documents, killed plants, and stolen various knick-knacks and valuables.

What have my dogs destroyed? Get the popcorn, this is going to be a long post! No offense intended towards you small dog owners, but I smile when I see you post something like "OMG he chewed up a sock!" My mom's the same way with her maltese. She'll call me saying "Scandal went on a tear today! She chewed up a pencil and two of the grandbaby's crayons!" :rofl1:
There is a reason why my boys are called the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. When they were younger, they were both absolute terrors. Zeus was the worst chewer I ever encountered, and Voodoo was a canine tornado. Here's what Zeus destroyed as a pup. For the sake of brevity, I'll leave out the stuff under $100.
-Brand-new pair of $200 workboots.
-Hand-embroidered Chinese silk scroll
-A shop vac. Even worse, it was a shop vac we had borrowed.
-X-Box controllers
-Several pairs of nice dress shoes. In one day.
-A very nice Snap-on Tools ice chest.
And Voodoo---well, he's Voodoo. The Chaos Demon. He wasn't anywhere near as much of a chewer as Zeus, but I think he tops the charts as, financially, our most destructive dog ever. He has destroyed:
-The fence. Twice. Cannonballed straight through the woodwork. We eventually had to replace the whoe section with rod iron.
-The window. He charged through the living room window one day. Cost of vet bills + repair. Still don't know what he was thinking.
-The drywall in the bathroom. Did I mention I had just finished repainting it? Had to redo it. I bet Home Depot loves us.
-Dog crate. He got bored one day and decided to rip the bars off the front.
-The couch. He has a weakness for foam. When our old couch cushions popped open at the zipper and exposed the foam, he ended up ripping off quite a few chunks. Thank God it's a secondhand freebee couch.
And guess what happened when you combined the two mischief makers? This is what I came home to one day. Shredded cushions, foam, blankies and shoes (also ruined) scattered everywhere. And that living room was spotlessly clean when I left.
Then there was the time I left one of dining room chairs outside.
And let's not forget their very first victim---the poor, defenseless mop! Notice the perfectly good dog toys right next to it?
So yeah. Living with the boys has been an adventure.

OK, I have one here that in her day was an Olympic class destructo chewer. Fenja is an import from high drive sport dog lines that had never been a house dog.
In brief unsupervised moments, she has damaged or destroyed, to name a few things:
A dustbuster
A leather scent article
A leather tracking harness
She routinely sneaks verrrrrry quietly into my bathroom and eats/wets/masticates various tissues or etc from the bath trash can.
She is always apologetic but laughing when I catch her doing this. Almost as tho she is saying....hahaha sorry. Couldn't help myself....made a li'l mess, sorry momlady.....
I know there are other things she has trashed over the years, but when I look at this face I just can't seem to remember most of them.

Yup, Red, that is EXACTLY the face Tallulah gives me . . . right after the ears back, head down, "I am a baaaaaaad little doggy" ACT. From there it goes straight to that cute face - the one that says "I'm too cute for you to stay mad and I AM just being a Terrier."
The bitch of it is, she's right . . . .

I'm lucky--Lucy hasn't chewed anything really. Every time I get in the shower though, she digs in the bathroom trashcan to find a tissue to destroy. It's pretty humorous--of all the things to destroy, she chooses kleenex.
Oh, and my underwear. When I drop my clothes on the bathroom floor before I get in the shower, she'll steal my underwear and leave them somewhere in the house for me to find. REALLY awkward one time when I forgot to go find them and she left them in the guest room before a friend came over.

When Ty was about eight months old, he completely destroyed a couch.
No, that is NOT an exaggeration. He shredded all off the padded, fluffy parts, he destroyed the canvas like stuff that was below the cushions to hold them up, he pulled the wood parts off of each other and chewed them up and he did his best to pull apart all of the large pieces.
The Jaws of Doom have claimed many other, less notable, victims. I can NOT keep dog toys to save my life. He's even destroyed a Kong.
I would say he used to have a very, very slight case of separation anxiety. lol

Mary only a stuffie or two when she was stressed.
Victor 3 mattresses both sides. ONCe when i took Butch home (the neighbor's dog) and Victor saw me put him in my car and drive off with him. I came home 5 minutes later to a channel dug right through the center of the mattress 4 feet long.
Pepper nada so far.

Sawyer chewed up part of a remote and dug a hole in my ex's couch, scratched the living hell out of a front door, broke some blinds and knocked over ever plant he could find. The last bits were all at once. The first two also went together. He wasn't too bad.
Um...where do I start with Virgo? :rofl1:
Crate bedding
Crate
Blinds
Doors
Supposedly "dog proof" dog food container
Too many dishes to count
Around $125 of products out of my kit
My favorite set of sheets
4 seatbelts in my car and it's $300/each to replace
25' long line
trash surfer extraordinaire
Stuff that's required trips to the e-vet:
Rat poison
Sugarless gum (nicked that one out of a center console--HOW?!?!)
And the bestest, most fun weekend we ever had was when she ate over a cup of unbrewed coffeegrounds and spent the next two days tweaking in the bathtub with me holding her paw like you'd hold a friend's hair back. No vet trip, but many phone calls.
Oh...and this has all been in the past year. :rofl1:

Virgo needs to get together with Voodoo! I forgot about the time Voodoo got into an entire bottle of tequila when we weren't home, ended up roaring drunk, puked all over the house, passed out on the couch, and spent the next day with a hangover.
*imagines Voodoo and Virgo sharing shots of rum and Red Bull*
