Naughty Boy
 As I've mentioned before, Foz and Annie have been sleeping in our hall bathroom for weeks now. I usually put the Nylabone up there too, but Annie has been very possessive the past few days.
Something woke me up at about 2:15 this morning and I sensed that Foz was doing something. I was to out of it to turn on the lights so I just spoke to him through the door and heard him go back and last down on the tile floor. The same noise woke us both up at about 5:15AM. He nawed all night on my stairway bannister  UGH!!! |

| Naughty boy!
How old is he? He's too old to be getting adult teeth isn't he? |
| Oh, wait. Foz is the younger one (tough to keep track of everyone's babies). He's probably teething for the 2nd time... getting his adult teeth. |
Foz is about 6 months. I thought his teeth were all in, but maybe not  |
| Is he alright???.. did he ingest a lot of wood/banister? |

Good point Dudster. Stacy, if you can it may be a good idea to check for splinters in his mouth. |
| He seemed okay this morning, but I'm going to check again when I go home at lunch. I really hope he's okay. |
| Forget the dog, how's your bannister!!
Just kidding, I hope he doesn't have splinters, but naughty puppy! Barney has been getting a little chewy lately too, but he's almost 2! |
| Stacy,
Must be something about that particular age! Pip was going after the wall paper and baseboards in our room a few nights ago. Normally he just sleeps, or chews on his bone or toy, but NO! He had to chew on the wallpaper!!!! I KNOW he has all his teeth in too! Naughty boys!!!! |
| Dixie is 2 or 3 years old and has taken to chewing the wooden window sill in my family room. All the paint is gone and she is starting on the actual wood.
I have a wooden rocking chair that you can tell she really likes.
If they like wood they may always like it. I think I recall Jill's Clyde being a wod lover, too. |
Sounds ALL too familiar! We still have ballisters on our deck fence that have monstrous chew marks on them, and in some cases, chunks taken out of them!! 
Hope Fozzie Boy is okay! |
| Oh no! Bad Foz!
Rags got a hold of some wood in Ryan's room the other day and chewed it to shreds She also ate a frisbee! I think she's bored because she's not outside as much. She doesn't destroy our stuff thank goodness.
But then again she's not a puppy. My friend's dog ate her entire window sill one night |
| Foz seems to be just fine..he just invented another project for Steve. Poor guy I decided to peek around my kitchen too to see if he'd started in there too. Looks like someone has been chewing at the corner of one of the walls I sprayed Bitter Apple so he better not go for my good cabinets!
We need to move the divider back on his crate as I don't think he has enough room anymore. How much room should a 6 month old have? Should he have the whole thing? |

Yup, he liked to gnaw the corners of the baseboards if he felt wronged in some way or was bored. I started putting bones and toys at all his favorite corners while I was gone and that seemed to work pretty well. Bear has become ridiculously chewy and mouthy lately. He grabs with his mouth a lot and he caught my hand pretty good plus he's somehow searched out and destroyed 2 of James's hats. For us, it's the terrible teen stage. |
| Foz - NO!! Do you have any pics of the damage? |
| What size is his crate, and how big is he ( weight?) ?
Sounds like he is teething - but what a naughty boy!! |
Naughty Naughty Fozzie, LOL, should not laugh at least it was not the Drywall, Window and door frames and a brand new washing Machine (aka Kelsey terminator of everything then ) 
Sounds like at 6 months old his molars are coming through, check the back of his mouth to see if there is a slight swelling in that area or if the molars are through. Might explain his desire to chew again!!  |

Sounds like he is teething - but what a naughty boy!! His crate is the big one, I think 48 inches? He's almost at 50 pounds. Here's the damage I suppose it could have been worse.

| Owww! |

If he is reliable about not doing any potty business in his crate then there is really no reason why he can't have the whole area. BTW, I use bitter apple a lot around the house. Dixie is now allowed free access to the family room during the day, but she needs to be detered from the window sill and the couch cushions... |
| Yep, I would try the whole cage. See how he does with the whole cage - he may be starting to feel cramped. If he regresses, you can always put the divider back in.
I have about every size cage there is in the plastic vari kennels. It does come in handy for puppies and crate training, also for loaners to friends! |
| Wow Stacy Naughty, Naughty Foz boy!! |
