Is it just MY dog, or does somebody have this probably? Pepe has teared my childhood cancer wristband in half, took part of the spoogie part of my headphones off, and almost was going to tear up my five dollars! Atleast he doesn't eat poop and then lick the owner's face like some dogs do.
Sarge does the same thing. He eats absolutely everything. Blankets, towels, bathmats, shoes (only the expensive leather ones), foam doggie beds, rope toys. You'd think we never feed him.
my male doberkids has to carry something around with him at all times... he has to always have something in his mouth to carry around... stuffed cat... stuffed dolphin... or another stuffed animal
then when he goes out to potty he just sets it down then he squats and pees then he picks it back up and goes again...
Well Luke (bulldog) used to put everything in his mouth thinking it was a toy. But he's learned what is his and what isn't. Now all of the dogs will run into the kitties room and eat kitty poop out of the litter box if I don't stop them. It's something they just refuse to stop doing. And they'll eat poop outside too. They're gonna go on a supplement to hopefully stop that though. All in all, I think I'd rather have Luke chewing up my sandals, blankets, towels, etc. than eating poop!
Peanut does that too. I left her alone in my room the other night while I went to go take a shower and she managed to jump high enough on the side of my bed to pull down my ps2 controller. I found it in a hundred pieces on the floor.
Sarge eats everything in sight. Headphones, toilet paper, couch cushions, doggie beds, the food bowls, shoes (just the expensive leather ones), foam plates. Recently he has developed a taste for plastic. Anything plastic, he will eat it. Weird dog.
Brutus, well lets just say he is our energy efficient weed eater, He has trimmed the small palm trees, and is working dilligently on the banana trees. Not to mention McKinleys' toys. And anything plastic does seem to be the favorite in the house. He chewed the tail off my leather elephant, and mutilated a big bouquet. I found a green barrett hidden in his mouth the other day. I never know what I am going to find hidden in those jowels. I don't think he even knew the barrett was there. lol
Ah, yes, the Fila jowls . . . receptacle of all sorts of purloined and pirated booty . . .
Miss Kharma is an electronics afficionado. She's destroyed three television remotes, the DVD remote, two portable phones, a cell phone charger and the remote to the home theatre system is still MIA . . .
I don't see the point of buying expensive toys like kongs, sometimes they jsut ignore it and you spent all this money for nothing. My dogs rather play with an old sock then any toy design for dogs. Just like my baby cousin, he finds much more joy in playing with an empty water bottle then any fisher price toy.
My old Pit mix ate, not chewed (and this isn't complete!)..
Poop (Yuck) Vitamins cured him of this disgusting habit.
Bitter Apple! (He LIKED it!) He ate the bottle after chewing it.
Seat belts

Car sound deadener (asphalt and cloth)

Cereal including box.
Remote control. (spit the batteries out)
One entire leather work shoe, including laces. He left some of the sole, and the steel shank.
Lots and lots of cardboard boxes.
A 12" woofer cone.
one of my dogs, marley, has a running game with the toilet paper and chews up as many rolls of it as he can. i came home once and my entire kitchen floor was covered in white! it took a minute to clean that up.
my roommates downstairs, one of them has a min. schnauzer, and she has the same game going on with dryer sheets. and she constantly has something stuck in her mustache! its kinda funny!
and, when my mom was younger (before i was born), she had a gsd from the pound or something that almost chewed its way through the kitchen wall when she was out one day. thats crazy!
Yeah, I know what you mean about the toilet paper. We have two Shelties, and can't keep it on the receptacle. We have to put it on top of the vanity counter, because they tear it off the roll, and rip it into tiny shreds. It is a mess!
When I got Hunter, he was an untrained rogue from the streets. He only chewed ONCE... while I was at work, he helped himself to a boot out of my closet. It happened to be my very favorite pair of black boots I'd gotten in Scotland! He mauled one of them. I threw the good one away but kept the mauled one as a reminder to him. I didn't get physical with him except for my voice and showing him the mauled boot and letting him know how disappointed I was. A year and a half later, if I just pick the boot up and show it to him without saying a word, he hunkers to the floor in shame. I've never had a chewing problem since that one incident. It's all in how you communicate your expectations of them... as far as I'm concerned!
