The Worst thing your dog ruined!!!

Basenji Talk
  • 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:

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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!

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    $2000.00 for astro turf!!! Wow! I've seen that short green carpet which looks like grass and that works really well. I don't think its called astro turf though since it is much shorter. You can find it at camping stores or even Home Depo. Its not really that expensive and it is easy to clean with a hose.

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!
