Oh, I am so sorry. That's stuff is always so frustrating. I know a cure for whenever your fur kids destroys something of yours. You take a newspaper and roll it up real tight. Then you hit yourself on the head with it real hard. The reason a pup destroys something is because YOU didn't keep it out of his reach. A hard lesson learned.

Oooohhhh! Aren't they so sweet sometimes. My Molly still gets to sleep in a kennel when I leave the house. She isn't really happy about it, but that's life. So sorry for your foot pedal.

I'm glad you were able to replace it

Next door bought a new wooden outdoor setting complete with 8 chairs a couple of weeks ago,and probably paid $900 - $1000 for it. They went out the next morning to find their Doberman had spent the night chewing the legs of the table. They have now wired off the back verandah to keep her away. She has also been chewing the palings in the fence between us, and has chewed through 3 so far.

Great post! I could feel my hackles rising, and I was thinking "no, she isn't going to say to...." when I got to the second half. I'm going to remember this for the future.

That is a sign of a dog not getting enough exercise. She needs about a four mile walk every day.

I had a friend that used hot pepper on anything the dog shouldn't chew. It will dry on, and the dog won't do more that nip it once.
