Our “perfect puppy” decided after she turned 1 year to chew on two dining chairs and remove the fringes from the wool rug. Nice, eh? Original Article

Father and Son Quality Time.....
“Honey, wanna hold your newborn son? Oh, what’s that? You’re busy holding the dog? So sorry to interrupt” Apparently it’s Basset before Baby. (Side note: Hubby is actually a wonderful father and would never put the dog before his son……seriously!) Original Article

Tinker Bella Destruction
My cats Tinker and Bella enjoy rough-housing all the time. Most pictures have Bella near the scene of the crime, but Tinker is nowhere near it. They knock over tables, books off the shelves, flowers/vases off the counters, pull curtains (with the rods) off the walls, and terrorize my couch and recliner. Original Article

And He Walked Away.....
[showtime] It was the day after Christmas 2008. We were going to visit my fiance’s mother when a neighbor’s dog ran out in front of us. I heard a small crackle and thought we had dogged a bullet in damages. I saw the uninjured dog shake himself off and trot away. Fiance is inspecting all of the damage. Right front trim and fog light GONE. Original Article

5000 Piece Puzzle
We used the foam puzzle pieces as flooring in the bunny room. It was never a problem. Until today…when my most-innocent bunny chewed it into itty bitty pieces. Original Article

Only the Beginning...
“I most certainly was NOT digging in the trash! Whatever would give you THAT idea??” Meet Layne. This sweet baby has singlehandedly destroyed my pretty apartment. I could probably post a photo a day of the new and creative ways he’s ensured that I will never EVER get my deposit back on this place.. My other cat’s hell raising days are mostly over. These days, she...

The Hose
Katie, our 1 year old chocolate lab, dumped her water bucket. Since I wasn’t home at the time she thought she’d help me out and refill it herself. Pulled the bucket to the middle of the patio, chewed the sprinkler off, stuck shredded hose end in bucket… doh… then she realized the faucet knob was outside the gate to actually turn the water on.

Library Book
That used to be a hardcover library book. Thank God my 1.5 year old mastiff mix Strider saved us from such a threat. Note the bookshelf behind him of books I actually own that he could have chosen to destroy. Original Article

My Drapes
[showtime] This is what we came home to from an overnight away. We forgot to tell the dog sitter to crate our dog if no one was home. I am 99% sure that there was a grasshopper sitting on the window to the right and she was trying to get to it. We have seen this in action before. She does not get separation anxiety and we have another dog for her to play with, but if a bug or squirrel get...

The Panty Bandit
I used to wear pretty, expensive underwear…but Tito my “weinie-wa-wa” couldn’t resist them no matter what I did. He can even get them out of the laundry hamper. I’ve resorted to ugly Walmart panties and the addiction continues. Now I make him wear them around when I find that he has chewed them up. That’ll teach him!!…ha!..not really… Original...
