The title says it all really, I was typing away replying to emails at about 9.30ish last night and ""ooooh I thought the keyboard has stopped working".. I delved under the desk to 'check the connection' to find a little puppy dog with a keyboard wire in her her mouth!!!!

 

As this could have been dangerous for her the wires are now being tucked behind some wood panelling, but I thought they were out of the way as it is!

 

She looked very sorry for herself when she was unceremoniously ejected from the room.

 

But I then had a mad dash to Tesco up the road to replace the keyboard so I could continue emailing!.. minus one puppy that was telling my husband all about the big bad woman that wont let her chews those lovely wires.

 

I give her chewy toys and she wants anything but those chewy toys.... rascal.

 

So what items have your animals chewed or defaced or re organised?

 

I hae not put this in other animals as I really think thats for news etc and this is just a funny thing that happened.

 

edited to say I had typed chewy toes instead of TOYS so have changed it .. I give her my toes as well though... :lol:

Our dog Ruby is about 8yrs old and a rescue dog we got back in February - she is a very quiet, small, unassuming dog, however she does have separation anxiety issues.

 

Because of this when we go out, we put her in a crate, but she kept getting really sweaty etc, so this week we decided to put her bed in the hall under the stairs and try her in that whilst we went out, which seemed to work.............until yesterday morning when I came back from DD's (7) school mass and Ruby had chewed some post!

 

.......but the letter she chewed wasn't any post; we have been attending a 6 week foster course which finishes next week and when the course finishes you then complete a form to say you wish to be formally assessed for fostering, which we had been waiting to receive........out of the 5 or so letters in the post, guess which one she chewed?!

[Cooks]

jessie my spaniel shreds post if your not carefull to shut the porch door.. she's a recycler at heart but hasn't got the idea that I have to read the letters first!!

We had a rabbit called Stewart a few years ago that used to come inside and wander round the house downstairs (Stew the rabbit or rabbit Stew he was known as ) Anyway, one day I found him shivering and shaking behind a cupboard / sideboard and it was obvious he was really unwell so I took him to the vet. Sadly despite intervention he died overnight and we and the vet had no idea why. Until I went to clean the fishtank a fortnight later and found that he had chewed almost completely through the wire for the pump! Poor thing had electrocuted himself.

My eldest (who was about 4) went around telling everyone that "Stewart went BANG!!"

 

 

Oh yes, and last week I forgot to shut the stairgate at the bottom of the stairs and Delilah, the big old dawg, who is miserable as she is in season so cannot go out for normal walks, took it upon herself to go upstairs and shred STBXOH's feather pillow! Second one she's done, luckily both his so I'm alright jack!

LoppyLou that was a close call!

 

Diva our, now departed, rescue EBT did the same thing but managed to chew through the whole wire - thankfully it wasnt plugged in at the time - PHEW!

She also chewed the corner cupboard of my mums kitchen but mum didnt seem to mind as it was her excuse to get a new one fitted. Admittedly the kitchen was 15 years old and they needed a new one but now 5 years on mum & dad still havent decided on what style they want so the chewed bit remains.

[Cooks]

yes it was a close call, and made me look at everything I have protected and put away again just to make sure she cant get at it.. she's a nutter!!

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Just got home to find the remains of a multi pack of maltesers all over the floor and also a multipack of McVities mini cookies and the bunch of grapes which was in a large plastic container with the aforementioned choccy treats. Only saving grace for that one is the plastic is still serviceable - Jess usually massacres them too! Great recipe for a poorly tum!

 

Poppy worked her way through THREE seatbelts before sense prevailed & she was caged in the car - still against DH's better judgement to has to be said!

 

Daisy (we think) massacred my Nokia bluetooth earpiece during the week - very p***ed off with that as I now drive a car without a built-in handsfree kit most of the time, so I was actually using the wretched thing on a regular basis!!!

 

My old black girl Rosie ate a tube of betnovate and a hardbacked road map - not in the same sitting!

 

The list could be endless....they are Labradors - mobile dustbins!!! Expensive mobile dustbins

3 Seatbelts?? maybe Suzie isn't TOO bad then.. what's a keyboard between family afterall...

 

I cant get used to this new one, is't much simmer and more like a laptop keyboard that my older plonk along along one...

[gooner.girl]

My mum and Dads Irish Setter, Brandy, chewed the 'how to train your dog' book they had borrowed from the library....

 

Not sure how they explained that one!

[Cooks]

brilliant

[jackiepoppies]

I left our Wimaraner pup, Sophie, in my OHs care while I was at work. He had strict instructions that she was not to be allowed upstairs as she was still being toilet trained.

 

In my bedroom, on the floor, in a shoebox , was a brand new pair of (expensive) shoes I had bought to go with my outfit fo DDs wedding.

 

Got home and started to pack to go to said wedding. Outfit...check, hat...check, makeup...check, tights...check, shoes...yep, they were there alright.......except one of them had a heel missing Or at least, not quite missing, but very well chewed.

 

Naturally I was a little upset to say the least and asked the OH, in a rather loud and angry voice (you get the picture?) what had happened.

 

He said he knew nothing about it denied emphatically that of course he hadn't let the pup upstairs, I'd told him not to hadn't I

 

All very well says I, naturally I believe you says I, BUT perhaps you could explain the chewed off bits of heel on the carpet says I No says he, no idea.

 

Well says I, (fairly sarcastically by now), we have an extremely intelligent pup

 

Hows that says he

 

Because says I........'She has not only managed to negotiate her way through two closed doors, she has opened the shoe box. had her fill of heel and THEN managed to put said shoe neatly back into shoe box, close the lid, exit bedroom and negotiate her way back downstairs, closing the doors after her

 

The OH didn't have a leg to stand on

My golden retriever ate my wedding album the day after we got it from the photographer.

[Cooks]

these dogs have a lot to answer for.. Claret are you watchig this??.. hide everything..

[Minnie the Moocher]

We had a dog with a rubber fetish.

 

Rubber gloves, wellington boots (especially if they were being worn), hosepipes, etc. All these things reappeared in the garden the following day - if you catch my drift - but obviously not in serviceable condition!

 

We also had a cat that loved the smell of bleach...

[Emma Tarpey]

You could try rawhide sticks or maybe a meat filled bone this put our Alfie off for a while

[Cooks]

Suzi has everything I could get for her from the pet shop for chewing..she's just a puppy and a naughty rascal

[Redwing]

We have been very lucky with our dog but he did once get my Radley handbag and its contents, goodness knows what made him grab it as he had not chewed anything up to that point and very little since and we had only nipped out to the chip shop - the handbag still bears the scars of his attempts at complete destruction and my credit card had a hole through it!

 

Luckily he missed my Mont Blanc pen!

[The Dogmother]

We've had little Ruby (butter wouldn't melt ) for two days now and she's not been too bad... yet! I have been distracting her with hide chews and pigs ear s"Ooops, word censored!"s. She already knows The Voice of Doom when I use it. She has figured out how to get upstairs, which she's not allowed to do unattended as we're still house training her, but then can't get back down again as she's all legs and a bit unco-ordinated at the moment.

 

My old lurcher once ate a whole box of champagne truffles - luckily she sicked them back up so the chocolate didn't have time to poison her.

[Aunty e]

Cats are just as bad. Mine massacre my phone chargers if I leave them lying around, chew the corners on books, rip up washing up sponges, disembowel feather cushions (SILK COVERED FEATHER CUSHIONS), spread balls of wool around the house, and chew through headphone cables. And these is completely aside from the furry/feathery corpses they bring in and the piles of cat sick. In fact, does anyone want a cat? or six?

[snowberry]

My weimaraner girl has a perchant for shoes, preferably new...even more so if they are less that 24 hours old.

When all the shoes have gone then it's onto those sponge scrubby things that you use on the dishes, YUM!

In the past I have had to replace the doorframe in the living room 3 times & also the light switches on the wall, how she did not electrcute herself I don't know!

[blackgold]

We use vapour rub to put puppies off chewing . It only smells to us for a little while but dogs give it a wide berth

[Cooks]

yes I used vapour rub with jessie my spaniel, I think I'll have to get the tub out again... Suzi the chewing culprit is currently sitting on my lap like butter wouldn't melt... I know different missy!
