Objects to chew....any strange habits out there?
She has never really been a chewer. She has her bones and hydes and literally will only nibble on stuffed toys, but had never chewed anything else. UNTIL..... I came home and there was the foot-piece to the stool we have at the bar with some nibbles in it. I put it back and found it out again a few more times, finally threw it away a few weeks ago. I wanted to see if she would fetch a stick, and she did, but started chewing on the end. A few days later, she self-acquired a pencil for herself. We determined that she LOVES TO CHEW ON WOOD. But, the best came last weekend and yesterday. I found chewed permanent marker caps on the floor, but the marker itself was un-chewed. I ran to see if she was covered in red or blue (since I wasn't sure if I totally missed it when I came home), but she was still white. Determination, my dog can uncap markers and stay clean!!! Anyone else have a dog that chews on weird stuff or has strange chewing habits? |

| Ugh.... so we have a basket full of toys. All kinds, all different textures. What does Mequpak chew on? The "used to be" nice decorative basket the toys are in. He's obsessed w/it. He can't look for a toy w/o having his mouth around the basket. |
Owen has stopped chewing most things but he got a hold of one my favorite bras and munched just enough through the center (between the cups) that when I went to put it on yesterday, it broke in two pieces. It was pretty old and due to be tossed but I guess Owen wanted to make the decision for me. Thanks, Owen.  |
| I haven't gotten photographic evidence yet, but I long suspected there weren't deer eating the lower branches off the two fruit trees in the back yard. The other day I did manage to watch Marley helping herself to a branch. She bites it off the tree and then runs around the yard taunting Morgan with it. Finally she retires to a spot int he yard and munches away. |
| Daisy's favorite chew toys are empty TP rolls and Q-tips. I pull several Q-tips a week out of her mouth. |
| OOHHH! I have another one!
People in our town like to feed the squirrels corn cobs...when the rodents take the kernels off the cob and leave the remnants on the ground, Maggie gobbles them up. I think I will be asking the vet if this could be a problem since whole kernels are found in the doggie-treasures left by Maggie. |
Barney's favorite thing to chew on is...himself 
Other than that, when he was younger he liked to chew on wood--he'd basically vacuum up our back patio. He also chewed all the grout from between the kitchen tiles. Now, he pretty much just goes for what's at hand (a paw! ha ha ha). |
| Tiggy likes wood too.
But her very favourite thing is technology and spectacles. 4 pairs of prescription glasses 2 mobile phones 3 usb headsets couple of memory sticks 1 rescued digital camera   |
Washing Machine and a new one at that. Had Kelsey in the Laundry when I went out years ago when she was a baby, she chewed a hole in the dry wall, door frame, bottom of the washing machine and when I got home and went into her I said **** (you can fill in the blanks there  ) when I opened the door, that will teach me to go out for a few hours and leave her and when I did a load of washing the next day we flooded in there. She actually put punctures in the hoses behind the machine that I did not know she had been munching on as well 
Gotta luv a teething sheepie.  |

I think I will be asking the vet if this could be a problem since whole kernels are found in the doggie-treasures left by Maggie. Corn is fine, they usually just don't digest it very well, so kind of pointless. Make sure she never gets near any of the cobs though. A friend had to have surgery on her golden THREE times to remove corn cobs from his gut... My vet is confident that Sybil is going to win her some kind of coveted veterinary 'prize" for the most unusual thing found or removed from a dog's innards. She keeps offering to x-ray her and has threatened to run a magnet through her like they do cows who tend to inadvertently pick up things like bits of wire. Given her long and glorious list of accomplishments I can't even get indignant when she says things like this. I spent the afternoon with one of her sire's co-owners and I was just telling her that the first year of Sybil's life I would call my vet about once a week (vet is a friend of both of ours) and ask: "can <fill in the blank> kill her?" She got to the point that she'd answer her cell phone with: "so what did she eat NOW?"

From a destruction point of view, no question! From my vet's point of view, only if parts of the washing machine ended up in Kelsey's gut...
Mind you, it's a competition I'd be more than happy to "lose" over and over again...

I very seldom see Hannah WITHOUT something in her mouth. My husband and I went on vacation and my son was "watching" our dogs.....he put his ball cap with his wallet, truck keys, money and poison ivy cream on the kitchen counter. Wellllll, Hannah got the cap...proceeded to chew the crap out of his license, ball hat, wallet (she ate $5.00) AND his poison ivy cream which made her sick and resulted in him taking her to the vet. When I went and picked her up the vet told me to tell my son she still had'nt "pooped" the $5.00 bucks up yet. I've had 3 sheepies and I must say she is the worst for chewing but mommy loves her anyway  |
| Blue goes to Davids tool box and steals screw drivers with rubber ends. We finally had to move it. |
| WALLS
Hudson loves to destroy everything, but the walls are definitely getting frustrating. |
| My wedding dress!! I had it stored in the wardrobe. He found it. At least someone got some joy from it!!! |
| George chews remote controls and telephones.
He has chewed 3 remotes so far. We now have to put them in a drawer so he can't get to them. |
| I worked it out and Henry has chewed 25 different items thank dog he's not teething anymore! |
| I remember when we first got our American cocker spaniel she hated my husband.... a bad past we thought...she wasn't in the house 5 minutes and she chewed his wallet and all his bank cards... I'm still laughing 8 years on. |
| When Finnigan was a puppy, he ate one of the legs of the coffee table, he also ate my glasses, and several shoes, only he would only ruin one and move on to a different pair. His all time favorite is 2 liter soda bottles, he begs for them. He can unscrew the cap off of any twist top bottle! I am not sure when that particular talent will come in handy. He also loves to chew cement, my old house had cement front stairs, and he would lay out there for hours working on those stairs . |
| McCartney likes dryer sheets. He gets real excited every time I do laundry, because he knows that he's likely to snag one in the process. |
| Dexter loves pine cones, tree branches, rubber hoses, slippers, rugs, swimming pool hoses, rocks, and dining room chairs (he chewed up the legs on 2 of them). I was worried today when I gave him a bone that I purchased at Petsmart and he had it chewed up in a couple of hours. I'm not talking about the rawhide bones, I'm talking about a real bone -- a very hard real bone. He can't have many dog toys anymore either because he chews them up in minutes. We bought him one of those big tires with the rope that's on both ends, and he had chewed through the tire in about 5 minutes. I forgot to add, he loves rope. He got sick the other day and vomited up a bunch of rope from a toy I thought I had gotten rid of. Later that same day, he pooped a big pile of it too. Will this chewing end?

Good idea and we'll all have a cup of TEA to calm our fraught nerves. |
| When Dublin was about 6 months old, she tore off the wallpaper in the kitchen - well, the parts she could reach with her mouth. She doesn't eat or swallow anything, she just likes to destroy. Currently, she enjoys taking slippers, while they are still occupied by feet. |
cat toys. Poor cats cannot have toys. If they play with them she takes them away.  |

Yeah Tiggy too. She takes them away and destroys them. |
