I came home from work today to find that when our nanny had taken the kids upstairs and left Rosie downstairs, she had chewed three large lumps out of the sitting room wall! I was speechless.

So, I was wondering, in an attempt to make me feel better, if your dog has chewed anything more bizarre or annoying?

Louise (off to find the bitter apple spray) and Rosie (in disgrace)

Maggie chewed a hole in my wall! Someone tried to deliver a parcel and knocked the door while I was out. As I live in a flat with intercom thing we don't usually get knocks at the door so it was the new sound that did it I think! I was really upset about it at the time but a wee bit of pollyfiller and paint and u would never know! Emma x

My sideboard in the hall!!! Bit of tikka curry paste stopped her xx

 

[lady amanda]

humnh....well she destroyed 80 dollar slippers....while we were out and she was a little baby, she managed to open the closet and rip to shreads my lambskin slippers
but the funiest thing she chewed up was a book on dog training!!!!!!!!

Pareto has a thing for my bras! Grrrrrrrr

I bought some rather expensive boots back in the autumn and made the mistake of leaving them lying around. To be honest I caught Daisy before any real damage was done but they do have a couple of teeth indentations on the top!

The things that upset me the most are the kids toys, not my everyday stuff for my setting but when the kids get xmas presents and Daisy chews them. She chewed a wing off Henry's Pokeman dragon. I hid it and thought I would get a new one on ebay without him noticing as I thought he would be really upset. When he found it (rubbish hiding by me) he looked at it for a while and said 'I will pretend that the black dragon attacked him' Bless him, I am still getting him a new one though.

AWWWW little Henry....that is so sweet

Erm Izzie started it off one time as a pup, she decided to start ripping up part of the carpet on the stairs & now Poppy helps her! I'll get a picture later haha.

& bless little Henry

Unfortunately Rosie chose a really really old wall - polyfilla just isn't going to cut it! It's a wall that curves around the side of our fireplace and is interesting because it looks like there must be a concealed space behind it. I've often joked that there might be dead bodies hidden in there (that part of our house is from the 1600s) and my friend said today that maybe Rosie got a whiff of something and was trying to dig it out! Let's hope not, eh!

 

[Laura(L)Izzie]

Ohhh god! Let's hope not! :s

 

[Sezra]

How intriguing! I love old interesting places and finding out about their history although I am hoping no hidden bodies for you!

I think it might be an optical illusion - it looks like there is a space but actually it's quite small. Still, if she chews any more and a skull falls out, I'll let you know

Haha it would certainly be interesting! But freaky & gross at the same time, so lets hope not

Oh Louise I really feel for u! What a shame. I could have cried and cried when I saw my wall. To date it's the only real damage Maggie has ever done! So really I have got off lightly. My collie when I was growing up was a nightmare! Kitchen table destroyed, window ledge chewed, skirtings chewed and wallpaper off the wall. When I decided to get Maggie my dad told me she would ruin my nice new house just like our old dog. So I feel a bit smug getting to 10months with only that. Emma x

Ah, thanks, Emma but it's okay, it's only a wall and it'll get fixed somehow. It's rather annoying and it is definitely the worst thing Rosie has done and quite out of character for her these days, but bitter apple will put a stop to it and I doubt it's the worst thing to have happened to this house over the years!

 

[Lilies]

Skirting board, remote controls, DVD, Nivea lip salve which came out the other end saying Nivea still, ollie lives the crunch from plastic... Oh and a nibble on horse manure, cow poo and occasionally his own poi
Worst of all though was a packet of pills which I didn't realise he could access, £120 vet visit later where he was made sick and fortunately he was ok

Oh my goodness, he is definitely worse than Rosie! You must have to be so tidy! I caught Rosie going at the wall again today, so I did the bitter apple spray (and redid the aversion thing by soaking cotton wool in it and putting it in her mouth - her face was a picture) and so far she has stayed away from it since.

I'm imagining Rosie's face to be like that baby that was on You Tube having his first taste of lemon!!!

Ha, yes. It's the look they give you though, of absolute disbelief that you could have been so mean! Luckily, with two kids under five, I am immune!
