The Worst thing your dog ruined!!!

[DuchesssMom]

Where does the list begin and end with my B's. Most expensive was my hearing aid, several pair of glasses (including the first half hour of a visit from an old friend) Lost count of the remotes we've replaced. Shoes, and bras number to countless.
I thought I was a good housekeeper, then thought I was a more careful one. After 3 years with B's. I resort to anti-depressants, and prayer. LOL Thankfully more lately, things are rather normal. I can put toilet tissue on the roller again, and torn up napkins or such is the only casualties.

hAVING MEMORIES of TWO B's FOR 15 AND 17 YEARS previous to these, kept me from slashing my wrist. Love those B's.

I've been lucky too. Chey and Apache aren't too bad. Chey has ripped up some sheets..I've stopped buying the expensive ones. Apache chewed the corners of some furniture. A little bitter apple and he'll move on to another piece. I like to think it gives the furniture some character. I can't put tp on the rolls..that's still Apache's favorite toy.
Dakota on the other hand, destuffed an ottoman, chewed up quite a few pairs of glasses, a pet sitters dentures and tore up a huge area of carpet at a rental.

@Knipper:

LOL we were lucky it was just the handle, we never found the blade though… Blaze did the underwear thing, and Mom reminded me that he ripped up an entire section of underground sprinklers, the cost about $2100 to fix... He also ate the roast nettings, including the metel pieces, and two and a half bolts off of his kennel, yup, that one half is still holding on...

But seriously, he's calmed down since he turned twelve... that makes two years of peace...

I now know longer feel like I have the devil in disguise for a B!!! LOL Trixie has destroyed more things in my home than my 3 children ever thought about destroying and the oldest son is 21!! Here goes my list, 2 rooms of carpet, 3 phone chargers, 2 computer cords, countless shoes, 4 dining room chairs, 4 legs to dining room table, chewed a chunk out of door jam to our bedroom, 4 sets of sheets, a comforter and multiple dog pads and blankets that were in her crate!!! You scare me with the turned twelve comment since she just turned one in December!! LOL

LOL!!!

Been there

[Kebasmom]

My dogs just chewed up a five dollar bill. Does that increase their value? I wonder if I'll find any change when I clean up the back yard? Does this mean they have expensive taste?

[ELERICKSON40]

Hey I figured I would keep this thread going. Our delightful beastie decided Sat. that my bed needed a small hole right in the middle of it. Not sure how she does it but she peels the sheets off and goes right for the bed! Than last night she decided to do it again. By husband and I have been talking about getting a new bed but I think we will wait a little while. GRRRRRRRRRR

I have patched a foam mattress with duct tape…...more than once.....

We have found we can leave Zip out and about after we've cleaned up and thrown clothes either in the bathroom or the closet and put things on the dining table and pushed in the chairs. And sometimes non-smelly clothes will survive if they're left out by accident. But underwear, socks and the crotch of pants, no way. So my roommate/dp (gender neutral Dh, haha) just had a guest for 10 days. And after Zip chewed up a pair of her pants, shorts and a bag, we realized that we ought to be extra cautious about "things" that have a new smell. Now, this guest carries Coach handbags and the like so when I got the text message "Zip chewed up Becca's bag" I was thinking THE WORST! It turned out to be a $30 dollar bright green and pink canvas bag from TJ MAXX. Whew. Possibly the best (worst?) part is that the guest is sure she had everything zipped up in her suitcase (after losing the pants and the shorts we were careful about cleaning up her stuff). So our darling little rascal (incidentally named Zip) unzipped the suitcase and pulled out the bag from inside. I could be underestimating Zip but I'm a tad skeptical that it was closed closed. Has anyone else's B unzipped a suitcase?!?!? :eek:

[tanza]

Unzipping things and especially good at taking off lids from metal cans is Mickii….

[Knipper]

Blaze unzips lunch bags and zips them back up. He's done it to my backpack and also mu dutybag, which has a huge, heavy duty zipper.

New addition from Duchess's Mom. Yesterday my two B's were doing the Basenji 500 and did a body slam or some such in the bathroom and knocked a hole in the wall at least 10" big. I was shocked. First time ever, I've known that 'run' to cause any damage.

[tanza]

The worst that mine have done was to strip wall paper… in the laundry room when we moved into the house there were no baseboards, and just drywall and wall paper... so... you can fill in the blanks...gggg

[Capt_Jack_our_Basenji]

Oh my!!!!!! Well Im glad Jacks favorite thing is USED Dryer sheets…he just tears them into little pieces...Id rather it be that than my 2000$ mattress!!!!! Id FREAK!! I guess the worst thing he has chewed is his OWN bed...(50$) but he still uses it...his loss i guess he did it to himself! aaaaaaand...when we FIRST got him, he ripped up on of my husband Geoffs Navy uniform sock...lol...random!!

[Robin_n_Jack]

HA- Jack is a freak about toilet paper too. Our guests think we are crazy because we ask each one of them, as they return from the bathroom- did you close the door?

But the best was when we had a guest visiting, and apparently her purse was not far enough back on the table. Jack pulled it down, pulled out a bottle of pills and proceeded to chew through the bottle.

We got really worried, and there were three of us crawling around on the floor counting out these antibiotics, trying to figure out if he swallowed any. Nope, apparently, he chewed open the bottle, dumped out the contents, and proceeded to rip the bottle to shreds.

He does the same thing with cigarettes, he will pull every cigarette out and put them in a little pile, sit on them, and destroy the box.

My husband left a bottle of Tylenol one night on the bedside table, same thing happened to us! We went in and there was the bottle chewed up with pills everywhere! Trixie did not eat any of them!
