Homer has expensive taste

[JES72]

That’s now the third cashmere cardigan he’s chewed through!
All because I changed out of work clothes quickly to take him for a walk and left it on the bed.
Moral is to walk your dogs in cashmere!

 

[Bruer]

Oops

 

[Naya]

Oopsy

 

[edzbird]

So does Homer get a luxurious cashmere bed now? It's no use to you.....

 

[JES72]

You would think 7 years later I would know better!
Not at seven years old he’d stop chewing and destroying things,

I laugh when people ask when the chewing phase ends....

 

[Jacqui-S]

Oh no!

 

[Oberon]

He loves you so much he wants to wear your clothes on the inside.

Maxx loves to chew clothing too, especially hubby's t-shirts. Of course he is still also partial to t-towels, shoes, remotes, sunnies, socks, undies (nicks them from the laundry basket), stuffed toys and the floor mat in the bathroom (you see it disappearing backwards out the bathroom door if you leave it open whilst having a shower).

I'm very happy to say, though, he has never managed anything expensive of mine such as a cashmere cardi. I'm sorry @JES72 . He did chew hubby's brand new, expensive sheep skin slippers last year. That's when we realised he'd figured out how to paw open the shoe cupboard

Omgosh. Thankfully Chewie is a grub and only likes dirty socks and undies... He did break my Bose headphones though. And OH's fancy gaming mouse (lol). He clearly likes gadgets.

Eek!
Lilly chewed Sophie's mobile phone and the Sky remote when she was younger.
Biggest transgression was chewing OHs bamboo back scratcher (eugh!) Which we had bought years ago on honeymoon in Hawaii. He still has said chewed item. Never forgotten that one.

In Chewie's defence these incidents were ages ago when he young and we failed at supervision! These days he just likes to carry dirty laundry around and... moisten it disturbingly.

I’m making no comment on chewing. I don’t want to have to eat my words...

Snowie is not a toy-loving dog, yet he LOVES a new toy. Just for that moment of receiving it. Parades around with it. And then settles down to rip off the little bits (ears, tail, etc). He is not a chewer otherwise. You can leave anything lying around.

I’m curious to know if there is a correlation between dogs that get regular raw meaty bones for meals vs chewers of things they should not chew. Snowie gets a raw meaty bone for dinner, sometimes chewed up in a few chews, sometimes takes forever to chew and gnaw (depends on size and type of bone). I always think he gets his chew satisfaction from his meals and therefore has no need to chew other stuff.

 

[Lab_adore]

Hmmmm @M.F. you might have a point. We don't give Maxx bones that often .....

Hunter likes to suck! I only lost my favourite merrell sandal to chewing when he was a puppy. Now he steals underwear and clothes. Lies on them and sucks them!

Stanley just steals stuff so you’ll chase him to get it back.

We leave all our washing on the clothes horse in the kitchen where he sleeps and goes when we’re out and he never touches it. As soon as I put Rory’s bib down he runs off with it to get my attention though

It probably tastes and smells nicer than boring adult clothes, too

Squidge likes a nice pair of knickers from the laundry basket to sleep with.

 

[Boogie]

Owch!

I’m going to start an insurance company for expensive small items ruined by dogs!

 

[Stacia]

Mine have never chewed and they don't have bones or raw meat

Maxx is the same as Stanley @Jen - nicks stuff for attention and to get chased. Thinking about it he hadn't stolen and destroyed anything on the quiet for a while. Not sure if he has grown out of it or if we have just mastered keeping stuff out of reach most if the time
