She runs amok in the yard, holding one in her mouth (and it's usually over her eyes, too) and flips them and pulls on them until they are small pieces that get chopped up in the lawn mower.<BR/>So I am maybe a quasi-Crazy Dog Lady. At least I don't let her do it in the HOUSE.

When they take a notion to chew, the results tend not to be reversible. Charles needs supervision when he's on walkabout. You never know when he might decide to enlarge a cabinet or drawer. He has only chewed an electrical cord once. Pop! WAAK! from behind the couch, and he hurried out, never to approach one again.Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-64594848418533929002008-02-19T06:09:00.000-05:002008-02-19T06:09:00.000-05:00LOL!!!! and that proud, accomplished look on Chet's face :-)<BR/>...but you have nothing over me JZ -- long ago I allowed a pet cockatoo to chew up the walls of a mobile home I was living in at the time... ohhhh, the attempted explanations, when I went to sell that trailer.....cyberthrushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01883119145892591610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-52423720278883415012008-02-19T06:01:00.000-05:002008-02-19T06:01:00.000-05:00Those huge, plastic lawn & leaf bags aren't something we give dogs but when Chloe was young, she snatched one outside that we had just opened and took off running at top speed (about 50 mph?). The bag opened like a parachute and she keep going, wild with excitement. The bag was ten times her size. Neighbors came out to watch her fly.

One day, nuzzled her way into Bill's book bag and start whipping out pages of a script he was working on. She would whip her head around and use most of her body to work each sheet out and nibble the corner. I guess it's safe to say she did not approve of his writing.birdchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05751235120097847798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-10942204927876978562008-02-18T22:51:00.000-05:002008-02-18T22:51:00.000-05:00Mare: Baker's favorite toy of all is the brown paper bag from 50 lb. of cracked corn. He romps all over the yard, shaking it ferociously. Indoor substitute is a paper shopping bag.

Somebody else who gives boxes and junk mail to the dog. I felt so alone. And now I feel, well, like part of a community of crazy old Dog Ladies. Whee! Shall we wear matching hats?<BR/><BR/>Chet doesn't growl, Ruthie, though I'm sure he would if I did anything other than smile fondly down at him.

She steals empty boxes. In fact she has been known to steal a box of tea, shred the box in to confetti and leave the tea bags untouched! She trots with us to get the mail and see what came for her (aka junk mail). Totally a huge mess, but worth it for the look of doggy-bliss on that face.Beckahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16814463294248347675noreply@blogger.com
