What did your dog destroy?

Question

With the fire works over, just wondering who out there has brand new stories of doggy destruction caused by the stress of the fireworks.

I'm house sitting for my boss and walked in the door after the fireworks last night to find my dog and torn down and shredded 3 (THREE!) sets of wooden blinds. Arrrgggghhh! Seriously, it looked as though they were sent through the wood chipper. Hes not at all a destructive dog either, I can count on 1 hand the number of things he's chewed up in his life. But he was in a strange house, alone, and got scared. I know its not his fault, but it still sucks!

Anyone else want to share their misery?

Answer 1

Few months ago, I left my 1 yr. old boxer "Tornado"in his crate and this is what he did:

1. Got out of his crate by beding the metal rods.
2. Knocked over the gate in his room
3. Went on a chewing spree with ALL the plants in the house (making sure that the soil was evenly spreaded out on the carpet throughout the house).
4. Opened garbage can and went through all the food and leftover that was in the bag (which he also mixed with soil that was already on the carpet...)
5. Chewed on about 3 remote controls.
6. Jump on the entertainment center and took down all the family pictures he was not included in....
6 Completely destroyed a hamper and torn apart most of the undergarment inside of it...
7. Bit on all the friuts that were in the basket on the kitchen table
8. Ate phone and internet cables so that i could not call anybody when I saw the mess and started crying...

9. LIe down on the couch in the living room and pretended he was a GOOD dog that was taking a nap all day.

Answer 2

Black Lab. By the age of two, he ate and passed: car keys, socks, underwear, washcloth, sponges, bottle caps, and a shoe horn.He has destroyed cell phones, tv remotes, garage door openers, lamps, clocks, fridge door handle, hoses, metal crutches, a lawn mower, and a 80 year old guitar signed by my great aunt and gene autrey. To date (4 years) we are still puppy proof, he can reach or open anything. If given the chance he will steal wrapped chocolate candy, remove it from the wrapper and eat it, bread, and apples. He's obviously gotten into some weird stuff. But his most irritating non food forray would have to be chewing up all of the the toilet seats (he's never been locked in a bathroom) for no apparent reason. Imagine sitting on that first thing in the morning. The big food one would be two choice t-bone steaks from the neighbor's grill. Guess he won't put the grill against the back fence again. Our fix was putting the dog to work. He now does dock diving, detection work and runs 8 miles a day. Our food bill effectively doubled but its been worth it.

=) I'm lucky because my dog didnt destroy a thing! He wasn't scared of the fireworks at all - he barked at them and wanted to bite them! But when we went in for the night, he just sat on the couch next to me and fell asleep.
