Things your dog had chewed up in your house

As we all know, dogs explore the world by sniffing & chewing.

I got up a few days ago around 3:30am to sounds of chewing. When I got up, I saw my furbaby chewing up DH's Timberlands...YIKES!!! The stuffing was all over the place!!! ahhhh!

What's been the things your dog has chewed up?

Mine has gone through the following:
* The cord to an iron (I was watching her as I watched TV. One second, he was chewing a dog toy; the next second, it was the ironing cord)

* The four corners of our bed comforter (not all one one day). We were due to buy a new one anyway

*Every bed we had bought her... (5 of them--including a crate pillow)

*DH boots (but that was his fault because he left them out in the living room instead of putting them away)

*Socks (if we leave the closet door open, she will get into the socks basket and take one)

*DH work out pants (his fault again because he left them over the dinning room chair )

*A stuffed animal

*Corners of the only two area rugs we own. One I don't care about because DH mom bought it fo rus and it is UGLY!!!!

*Our bedroom curtain ---the expensive one from Pottery Barn (ask me how she managed to make a hole in the center and not rip the damn thing

*4 out of 6 toss pillows from Crate and Barrel that were on top of the sofa (again...only the corners)

*Every leash she has owned

*Her harness (3 of them)

* I pair of jeans (well only the top buckle---DH again )

*DH slippers (again his fault)

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

My dog chewed/ate

he chewed the Fios line to my parents house twice in one week

He chewed the electrical lines for the sprinkler

He ate my mom's dog house- it looks like it has been malled by a bear

He chewed multiple garden hoses

He chewed the foam off of a couple pair of googles

He chewed two xbox head sets

one pair of shoes

a couple of hats

my monogramed pumkin from my wedding

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

several shoes and purses ....she loves leather!

my underwear...she is a perv. I have little teeth holes in a bunch of my undies

the moldings in our appt

the table legs

throw pillows

hmm...i know there is more but i can't think of it all right now..


edited to add that she has also done a lot of damage from digging esp as a puppy (put holes in the couch and ripped throw blankets), but the best was when she burrowed herself into our box spring. I noticed she was missing and was calling her/looking for her for a good 10 minutes until i sat on the bed and felt movement and realized she was IN the bed. She had burrowed herself in there but then got stuck! I had to rip the bottom of the boxspring off so i could get her out. There were all kinds of sharp wood and wires in there that it was so lucky she didnt hurt herself! poor puppy was shaken up

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

I am so very, very lucky - my dog doesn't chew anything that isn't hers.

However the dog my family had once chewed the battery from a video camera (the rechargeable kind that clips into the back of the camera).

My aunt's dog iis probably the dumbest dog I have ever known (a big mush though) and he has chewed/eaten the craziest things - including the downspouts from the gutters! He chewed them right off the side of the house.

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

Ohhh you are not alone... let's see what they have destroyed....

-They've gone garbage diving many times, actually chewed the top of the garbage can once after knocking it over.

-Tissues from the garbage in the bathroom- I always see Lucy sneak into the bathroom and then run into her crate to hide the fact that she's eating tissues.

-Glue Mouse Trap. Yupp- I heard this weird clapping noise and I called Irwin. He comes running up the stairs, clapping all the way. He was trying to eat the peanut butter off the glue trap and it got stuck to his foot.

-Maybe 5 different dog beds.

-Socks, underwear, bras, tank tops- Lucy takes them out of the laundry basket in the bathroom. Please note I *always* close the bathroom door and DH never understand why I yell at him when he forgets.

-Innumerable pairs of shoes.

-My old family dog from when I was a kid actually ate kitchen tiles. I mean WHOLE tiles that she ripped off the floor.

-The same dog who ate the tiles also ate the loveseat... and my parakeet- though he lived briefly after the incident.

-Irwin ate a rebate check from a computer we bought. When I called to tell them the check was "destroyed" and I'd need a replacement the woman had a good chuckle over HOW it was destroyed.

-Irwin also got electrocuted from chewing on a cable wire. Like someone said one second he's chewing a squeaky toy, next thing he yelps and runs across the room to hide in a corner. I only know he chewed the cord from examining it.

-Lucy likes to chew on DH's baseball caps. He leaves them on the banister of the stairs and she takes them off and hides them in her crate.

-Lucy also likes to chew my nails. When we play and she play bites my hands (yeah, I know I shouldn't let her, but I do) she eventually stops chewing the fingers and just bites my nails.

-Lucy also likes to bite the diamond on my engagement ring! But that doesn't fly with me!

ETA:

-Lucy has chewed many throw pillows.

-Lucy has also eaten one x-box remote and headset.

-Lucy has also eaten TWO time warner cable remotes in like 2 weeks, too. The second time it was the same guy and he asked me what hapened to the last remote. I dumped the buttons and bits of plastic on his desk. That's what happened.

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

Schultz - he was really the master during his 4 short years -

7 DirecTV remotes
Several books - hard cover and paperback
My DH's winter boots
3 pairs of slippers
some of my shoes
sneakers
DH's sunglasses
cord to DH's head phones
cds
power cord to the laptop
one of my pillows
countless pairs of flipflops

Logan -
shredded 4 dog beds
my down comforter
3 bananas - peeled, not eaten
3 onions - peeled - a chunk out of one of them
a roll of paper towels


That's all I can think of. Oh, and of course, food they shouldn't have.

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

My dog has only done 2 destructive things in the house--and they were both when he was over a year old and I thought we were in the clear.
When we were first starting to give him a little freedom (instead of the ex-pen). He chewed the windowsill. I was gone for 2 hours and left him the chair (he likes to look out) and he did that. Needless to say, he went back to the pen for a while and we never leave the chair by the window again.

Then very recently, after he turned 2 and has had free reign of 2 rooms for a while now, he started to chew at molding in the kitchen. He peed near the spot, too, so DH and I think he had to pee really bad (DH had a longer work day than expected) and was doing it out of frustration. I've been spraying that corner with bitter apple now.

I guess we're lucky to have so little damage though. He's a cavalier king charles, so he's a little guy. He'll steal socks and undies, but doesn't chew them. He actually takes them to his bed.


ETA: He'll chew through some of his stuffed animals. He likes to work at things like ears, or those little tags and usually opens them up. But once he hits stuffing, he's done with them. I think he likes the challenge.

How big is she? What breed?

she is a 15 lb Pug...she was still a puppy when that happened so she was probably only at like 10 lbs at the time.

Her name is Roxy.


OMG! She is adorable!

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

My slippers

DH's slippers

One of our couches (thankfully just the cushions and they can be re-piped)

Every single bed we have bought him

Chew toys - especially his gumby, nyla bone and stuffed animals

Socks - DH's dirty ones that he will pull out from the hamper and my clean ones that he snags from my gym bag.

I have to say we're pretty lucky with Shea. He doesn't chew on much.

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

I have three dogs and they have each destroyed many things. This is what I remember:

couches (sofa and love seat)
coffee table
comforter
area rugs
door mats
DH's hats
DD's stuffed animals
cord to vacuum
decorative throw pillows
lcd cleaning kit
computer driver disks

That's what I can remember..

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

Flip Flops

DH shoe laces

Computer cable

zippers from my hoodies

paper

Re: Things your dog had chewed up in your house

Oh dear Lord...
For the record, she hasn't really chewed anything in a long time, but she's an old lady now.
The list:
Our coffee table
Cedar Chest
The Wall
Numerous leashes
Chapstick
She got into the Halloween Bucket one year and at about 30 treat bags -removed candy from the treat bags and then ate the candy out of the wrappers
Pillows - she still does that occasionally
Blankets
Any and every stuffed toy, amazingly she doesn't touch DS's

and the best of all (those of you who have been on here for a long time will remember)

a bottle of gorilla glue - which resulted in her having stomach surgery to have the 1.5 pound ball of glue removed from her stomach. Luckily, we caught it within a few hours or she would not have made it. I shudder every time I see a bottle on a shelf in the store.
