What is the worst thing your pup has done?
What has he /she eaten or destroyed that was important to you!!!! We know they all do it and yet we still go all gooo gooo over the little babies until they turn into monsters! Well Bailey is officially a monster!!!!!! OMG - I thought everything was fine - it's been fine since he got here to leave him in the laundry! After all Murphy lived in the laundry for years with the Giz and everything was ok. I never leave clothes where they can be reached so there simply is nothing to kill eat or destroy right!!!? WRONG!!!!!!!! I fell asleep on the sofa last night while the little darling was in the laundry as usual. I can hear him so its ok and he can see me if he hangs over the baby gate. I woke up thinking it is too quiet - FAR TOO QUIET!!!!!! I went into the laundry and there is was right infront of me - the hose - somehow he had managed to get the front plate off the washing machine and levered a hose out from a small hole under the front of the machine. There he was looking so darn happy with himself!!!! I don;t really know why I covered for him perhaps it is because I knew KNEW it was more serious than a hose. I grabed it and gently pushed it back into the hole it came from but as I did so it was quickly apparent that the hose was split. I don;t know why but in my heart I was hoping that it wasn;t a terribly important little hose and that somehow it would GLUE ITSELF TOGETHER OVERNIGHT!!!! So I pushed it in and put the end on it and pushed the front plate back on. This morning I absentmindedly loaded the machine without thinking until I turned it on and water started to gushhhhhhh - DH - Ohhhh darling flutter eye lashes at sleeping husband who had been up half the night with disabled child. The washing machine is leeking!!!! He dashes out of bed and grabs clothes ( MY HERO) - but of course it is too late the floor is soaking and he doesn;t know why? He pulls the front plate off and finds just the end of a rubber hose in view and a bung on the end. What is that for I try to give him a vauge clue! Being a woman not knowing about these things he brushes me off with oh thats just a bung. Yes but what is it "attached too?" I say inocently knowing it wasn;t much attached to anything right now. Finally he upturnes the machine and finds the broken hose. Darn he says its a hose like last time we had a bother with this. - SO he sets about "fixing the hose!" Delighted I think oh good in an hour all will be fine - NOT! One fixed hose later and the machine back in place. But it wont start. Nothing dead - the machine just died the brain bit all the fancy computer stuff just died - over a darn hose!!!!!!!! This thing cost soooooooo much money - more than the fur ball!!!!! I can tell you I was a bit mad right then! Dh poor fellow upped and got his coat back in a min love - went out in the pooring rain and freezing cold bought a new machine ( Not a fancy one I might add!) GOt it delivered within a few hours and its up and running. THe Dog is in the laundry OMG better go check! so my dog ate my expensive washing machine and fried its brain! OES - he also pood on my kitchen floor tonight lovely toilet training is going really badly! |

| In nearly 45 years I can't think of anything that has been consumed or destroyed.......oh wait....... One bathroom rug was eaten by an StB in the back of the car as we traveled. It came back.....more or less. He also hate half a leather leash, it didn't come back...that we found. This same StB as a pup would sneak (with his OES sister) into the neighbor's yard, crawl under an overturned canoe and eat the cat's food. But then they were growing pups. A certain Great Pyr personally dug up several dozen rose bushes when he discovered his tail caught on the thorns. No, nothing as expensive as a washer. |
| Wow the washing machine, I would be hiding it from my husband too. I keep paper out of Monty's reach, found several papery poos, now was that important we ask ourselves? |
| I have had a few issues with Bailey regarding paper. I keep the tinned dog and cat foods under the units in the utility were they have always lived in harmony with the "dogs"! however Bailey is convinced he can somehoe feed himself. He manages somehow to get the tins from under the back of the unit and take the plastic wrapper off them and then EAT THE DARN LABLES!!!! So I don;t know if I am feeding the cat dog food or the Schnouzer cat food! Bailey is not in my good books at the moment. Oes |
Lily didn't destroy much as a pup, a couple dvd cases (never the dvds though  ) and a few grooming brushes, tp rolls. She did however have a habit when she was a pup of running, jumping on, sliding across and knocking everything off the kitchen table. Gideon destuffed a couch cushion once but that's it in his almost 9 yrs. (next month he'll be 9) Ritz our wolf hybrid on the other hand continues to destroy things at 3. The worst was eating through both sides of our awesome mattress  , digging up the kitchen floor & tearing off the side of our leather recliner. Other things include $1000's of dollars worth of shoes and clothes, numerous xbox headsets, every sock in the house, rugs, a coffee table, leashes, collars, 5-6 dog beds, destuffed 3 comforters tv remotes, game controllers, etc. He also used to wet the bed. He grew out of it at about 5-6 mo old.  The devil himself....(a very sweet but destructive devil) |
| For all their short comings, Tonks and Luna don't destroy stuff. In that we are very fortunate. But maybe the worst thing Tonks ever did was related to her early adventures as a poop-roller. She was a poop eater, but we were having good luck training her to stop. It was a long battle, but just as we felt we were getting there, she'd begun rolling in poop she'd find at the park. So I'd keep an eagle's eye out, and keep her clear of any poop. Or, if I saw it, I'd wait for her to approach it and then we'd practice "leave it" over and over again. NOT park fun, in her opinion. So one day, she found a way to play in as much poop as she wanted, and I couldn't stop her. She found a dog in the process of leaving something --ah-- fresh. And very wet. There was lots and lots of it; obviously this dog had gotten into something it shouldn't have in the pantry, and it was a mess coming out. But fear not! Tonks was there to help in only a way she could.... And of course Adam just stood there and took photos.  And then created a fun image using Photoshop.  He, of course, didn't have to wash her.... |
| eeeuuuuwwww! Above said rose digger was also a pooh roller, but not to that extent!!! |
| The worst thing Caitlyn has done was just a couple weeks ago during one of her many counter surfing sessions. She found a prescription bottle... Already not good, huh? Jen caught her on the couch what must have been seconds after she popped the cap off of it. When Jen came running at her, she jumped off the couch, her favourite spot to check out her catch and in the process dumped the bottle. Luckily for everyone, Jen was able to count and recover ALL the pills. Jen knew how long she had the meds home and how many should have been consumed by herself and the remaining number was on the couch. Incidentally, this was a nearly full bottle of Vicodin. We have no idea where she found it as we're very good about putting up our meds. But she found it. With the three Sheepies we've had, we've lost count of shoes, (including my Vans  ), socks and other under things. Caitlyn really has a taste for Jen's iPad. She been found with it on the couch at least a dozen times. She digs it out of Jen's work bag.Yesterday, Caitlyn found the little plastic tube container that contained the bridge for my new guitar project and took it to the couch. Again, Jen found Caitlyn on the couch right after she popped it open and pulled all the little parts out. She was again, able to round up everything that should have been there. I think Caitlyn id just bored and like to find stuff and open it. It's usually at that point she lets herself get caught. We've gone to just walking up and taking away whatever she has and simply walking away without saying anything. This way she gets absolutely nothing from her exploits. And as a result, she's been hitting the couch less and less. Zoey was good for socks and shoes, but that was about it. Until she figured out how to open the foot operated kitchen trash can. She actually found out the she could step on the little thing on the front an VIOLA!!! FREE STUFF!!! Thankfully, this ended just as she turned two. So the way I figure, we have about four or five months before Caitlyn starts to settle down like Zoey. Or at least we hope... Vance |
Pepper, the dog I had growing up, would always bring something to people when they came to the house. Friends, strangers, it didn't matter, they all got presents. If she couldn't find a toy to bring she'd get a piece of paper out of the trash or wherever else she could get to. One time she brought the UPS guy a pair of my underwear from the laundry.. ok so only destructive to my pride, but still.  |
| It is good to know I am not alone in my frustration over the washing machine. It is hard after having a very good and trustworthy dog to going back to having a Pup who thinks everything is either a game or food! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh Dh still thinks the washing machine died because he moved it to "paint the laundry two days ago!" - OES |
| Eevee ate my batman game for the PS3! Of course it had to be the new one that I wasn't done with, too. She is also known for chewing shoes, eating anything that gets left on the floor, and chewing the wire of the keyboard for my iMac so it wouldn't work at all. |
I shouldn't say anything... the worst thing mine have ever done? Nothing really, they're perfect.  Now I feel like the teacher's pet who everyone loathes... I guess you could say Gracie made me look like a creepy old man once. That's all I got. |

| Well thanks for all the posts that made me smile. I was at a very low time with the washing machine and the endless mountains of Poooooooooo. Recently it is more chewing Gizmo as when I came back from visitng my Dad for the anniversary of my mothers death at the end of last month Giz was Bald! Having had most of the fur down both sides of his little body sucked off in less than 48 hrs!!!!! ???? He has been sprayed with Anti chew but it doesn;t seem to work that well. I have had to seperate the dogs as GIz was hobbling about having got hurt by the BIG pup rough-housing. Now he is a sorry sight! But the pup is crying at night for him even though there is only a baby gate between them! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! DOGS!!!!!! At least these stories made me laugh! Funny thing is it is all the bad stuff we tend to remember once they have passed over the rainbow bridge and then those things make us smile but at the time - murderous intent comes to mind!!!!! OES |
| The worse thing that any of my dogs have done.....China destroyed my couch when she was a puppy. The only other thing I remember her doing is eating apart my new sandal when it arrived. China is now 9 and I don't remember any of the other dogs distroying anything. China was 8 wks old when I got her and Violet was 9 mts and Asia was 8 mts. Now I can put food down on the coffee table and walk away and come back and no one has touched it. The one good thing they do is teach you to pick everything up and keep it put away...less is more. |
| Yuki - we were on vacation while we lived in Alaska (exploring different parts) and we went in a restaurant and on the way out... Yuki ate our entire parking brake. She didn't want to be left in the car, I guess.... Kobuck - definitellllllllllllllly my window sills. My gosh.. I've never been so upset. The second we would walk out the door (we're not talking for more than 10 min b/c otherwise he was left in his cage) ...he would look out the window at us while gnawing up on all the window sills. It's the first thing all the guests would notice. |
| Eggbert: as a puppy, ate a huge hole in our newly reupholstered couch. Abby: The day after we adopted her, she climbed up to check out the kitchen counters and TURNED ON THE STOVE!!!!  The only reason we didnt have a fire, was that there was a whistling kettle full of water on the stove that went off and alerted us! Gertrude(beagle): Figured out how to open a babygate...open a closed door(to the laundryroom)...and THEN get a lidded garbage can full of dogfood down off of a high counter, OPEN it and eat until she her stomach was dangerously distended. Required induced vomiting and a vet visit. |
| The worst thing I ever saw was what my sons dogs did as puppys. He has a whippet and a boarder collie. He had been out at a training course and asked us to check on the pups for him in the afternoon. We opened the door of his cottage and : Well I guess it would not have been so funny if it was our house. The puppies had somehow managed to get out of the kitchen and had simply spent hours trashing the place! The couch cussions were shredded the standard lamp was a mangled mess and the shade was in bits all over the floor. There was what was left of CDs and books everywhere shredded up. DH and I just burst out laughing at these cute little inocent looking pups looking so pleased with themselves. We just thought OMG your daddy is gonna kill you guys when he gets home!!!!!!! There was glass everywhere and all I could think was how are we going to get them out of there without any injury! DH climbed in and handed the pups to me one at a time. I put them into a play pen and we set about trying to "rescue" what was left of our sons belongings! Rosie and sky did survive! They are wonderful pets now and much loved but we do look back on that day and can;t help laughing at the devistation when we opend the cottage door! I am so glad it was not my home or my puppy!!

| POSTED ON 11/30/2007 It is 5 AM!!!! I have been up since 4:15...Couldn't sleep, you ask??? NOOOOOO, I was sleeping very soundly, thank you. HEART!! She decided to get up an hour earlier than normal-- which is a LATE 5AM. (She goes to bed at about 11-12-- BH(before Heart) I would be snoozing by 10). Anyway--I was reading and responding to all the posts, (not much to do at this unDOGly hour) and I sense Heart doing "something". I turn around and there she is, in all her glory, shredding Dino's wallet....OMG!!!!! All of his credit cards have deep bite marks on them, his Drivers License had the same toothprints and a corner is completely bitten off. His 6 business cards are unrecognizable (ms). Thank DOG!! She only shredded a dollar..(he had 2 -20's not touched, at that point!). This happened in about 5 minutes!!!!! So-- I carefully put everything back in the wallet, placed it on the table wayyy in the back, and am waiting for him to wake up, get ready for work, pick up his wallet to put in his pocket..........and ?????????????????????????????? (gosh, I hope he doesn't notice ....yah think????) This princess puppy has 26 stuffies....8 hard bones...3 kongs....2 live dogs.......TV...... tuffet in front of the fire............to AMUSE HER HIGHNESS WITH...............and she picks an old (after 5 minutes with her, a MUCH older and worn) wallet and hard plastic. Now, even while she was in the midst of teething a couple months ago, she did not chew on inappropriate things--She will be 6 months old on Sunday, I really thought that since she has never "chewed" before this, I was out of the woods. BAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! (not). The thing is, as clumsy and puppyish as Heart acts, she is as quiet as a churchmouse when she is getting into things. She sneaks around-- I swear she tiptoes, not an easy task with those "boats" of hers. (I think we are beginning a new chapter in the "Life of Heart" book.......) 2ND POST AFTER 'DADDY' REALIZES WHAT HEART DID!!! He is now chasing her around the room, yelling..."Get on the tuffet!!!" "Bad dog!!!!" She is running, she thinks its a game...She is trying to get to me but he keeps blocking her.... He will leave for work soon.....There will be peace in the house again..... (Heart will be entered into the witness protection program...She will change her name to "Muffin" and she will have to color her hair a mousy brown.) |

| Georgi are lori glasses my socks,mail tv remote, flower beds,herb garden. Pens and I could go on. If it was within nose reach t was hers. Lori laptop as well |
| Chewed one drawer knob when he was teething. That's it! |
| Not the worst thing but funny... Besides chewing some carpet and the usual odds and ends, the sheepie we had in the 1980s was notorious for devouring anything that had people scent. Dusty would constantly raid the hamper and run off with an underwear treat, and before long, none of our shoes had inner soles, but the funniest thing was that Dusty could actually unlace a shoe while not breaking the lace. One day after I lost a long lace from an athletic shoe, I saw dusty scooting in the yard and paying extra attention to his tush. Yep, there hung several inches of shoe lace. I had to pull it out, in one long lace, like starting a lawn mower. |
