Doggie Dilemma

It works even better when you soak the Nylabones in Rum! ;)

Thats all we need, drunk, agressive chew machines with a closet full of shoes!!


DW would not be amused!!

hehehe

The thought of my two terrors drunk is scary! One time I spilled Mountain Dew and they licked it up before I could blink, that was an interesting afternoon! Thankfully they do not seem to care about my shoes, although now that I am waitressing Matthias loves to lick my shirt and pants when I come home. At least it saves me from having to presoak. ;) I do sometimes put a treat or peanut butter in their Kongs, that keeps them entertained for quite awhile. I like it when they are entertained. :twisted:

HAHA, reminds me of my giant rottweiler I used to have. She chewed the handle of a bathroom plunger......and a door partially thru the bottom. Otherwise, she was sweet. One night I couldn't find her, finally located her under a bed. With the remainder of a new 20 oz can of hot cocoa Mix. I call 24 hour vet who says, well, she'll be really hyper and POOP A LOT.
They were right

A friend had a cocker spaniel that had never paid any attention to all the fish tanks around the house. One night during a party the pooch managed to down a strawberry margarita and spent the rest of the evening sitting in front of the biggest tank watching the fish cruise around. Someone would pick her up and put her in another room and she'd go right back to the tank.

I love it! Eowyn (my girl cat) is my hippy. She loves catnip. I have a catnip spray for their climbing tower and I use those superscratchers with the catnip in them. Whenever I refresh her catnip she roles on it for about 15 minutes, then sits on top of her tower staring at all the pretty colors. She also loves Mardi Gras beads. We call them her love beads. I cut the loop and give them to her. At night, you can hear her dragging them around and meowing.

Hmm, my grumpy pups love to get the konds with peanut butter.

The terrier/cattle dog mix I have seem to be focused on with birds and tries to "herd" them in "her" yard!

very strange...


The cat that took over my home office has a little kitty scratch pad that gets re-new with catnip, and she does the drool and roll in it. The sits in the window watching the leaves on the tree move.

Isn't it amazing how quickly they take over? My male kitty thinks that I am his bed, and loves to sit on my hands while I type. Then there are the puppies who at the moment are wrestling and attempting pile drivers on eachother. When you walk into my apartment, there are definite signs of animal habitation: bone, balls, love beads, and scartching posts all over the place; bits of paper the puppies have shredded, fur everywhere.

You know you're a pet lover when you rate clothing on how impervious it is to fur.

Boy aint that the truth. They now rate my morning at work by how much white dog hair I wear in on my outfit. Lots - I had plenty of time. A little - I was rushed, give me time to get the first cup of coffee.

You want hyper? Drop a full bag of miniature marshmallows on the floor when you have two fox terriers! I didn't dare try to pick them up since I wanted my fingers to remain attached. They were like two little vacuum cleaners. Then they were two HYPER blurs of black and white! I swear I had to scrape PT off the ceiling by the end of the night. Sugar and terriers - not a good combination!

Charity is my chewer. She did go through shoes, sofa cushions, mattress pads, blankets, comforters, and one mattress. She isn't too interested in wood so walls and doors are safe. I keep shoes up off the floor and she knows not to get them off the shelf even though she can reach them. She doesn't chew pillows or blankets now that she's been in trouble for it. I keep a load of soft toys so she can unstuff those to her hearts content. She doesn't seem to chew up the squeakies, so I'm not worried about her swallowing them. She loves to remove them though. It's a fair trade off. It gives her something to do during the day when I'm not at home (unstuff stuffed animals) so she's not destructive with MY things, and it gives me something to do (pick up bunches of cotton stuffing all over the floor) when I get home!

The nice thing about mini schnauzers is they're hypoallergenic. No shedding!!!

Our big chewer is our dachshund that lives with my parents. When he was a puppy Schnitzel ate the linoleum off of the kitchen floor. It was all down hill from there. I don't dare have a watch with a leather band if I'm near him. He also eats my mom's headphones (and then she steals mine and he eats those), books, glasses, paper, etc. The worst was when he ate my University diploma . I used to sneak him into my room at night, and when I left my parents supposedly redid it and doggy proofed the room, telling me Schnitzel could now sleep in my room sanctioned. Well, one morning when I was staying with my parents, my father asked me what the dog was chewing. Yep, it was my diploma. I still need to get that replaced!
