    Yuck, I remember when Ralph was a puppy he had managed to eat the ribbon off one of his cuddly toys. I didnt realise until I saw it trailing along behind him out of his bottom :eek:

    Similar to original poster.

    Girlfriends dog caused a stir one year. Her brother was going Turkey the next day, so had exchanged all his money and left it in his wallet. He got up the next morning and came down to see £800's worth of foreign currency ripped to bits!!

    Oh dear!!

    My last dog used to be a nibbler (but didnt actually really eat anything aweful as far as i know!) his list of nibbles includes:

    the kitchen!- 1st time we left him alone (for 20 minutes) he pulled all the lino up, chewed the skirting boards, the door frames, the bottom of the door itself, the edge of the kitchen cupboards and chewed up the dish clothes and oven glove!

    The front door mat-he used to sleep rolled up in it (his choice!) and then one day it was just a pile of bits

    The edges of the wallpaper-still have no idea why he did this, all i know is its a good job he was a short dog-lol.

    His plastic dog basket-think this was his way of telling us what he thought of it.

    Oh and one day he ate a whole angel cake and big block of cheese.

    Im sure theres more that i have blocked from my memory too. Wouldnt have minded so much, but he wasnt even a puppy when we got him and he'd be fine for months and then something would b found in bits!
  • Post, shoes (only left ones for some reason?) back door, buttons off anything, a sofa bed, packets and packets of cotton wool ( :mad: try hoovering that up!)

    The funniest though, was him biting into a can of hair mousse, it exploded, started spinning around spurting its contents everywhere !!

    Strangely enough, he stopped chewing after that.
    I'm NOT grumpy, I've just been in a bad mood for 20 years!:D

    I had one perfect terrier who only chewed the edges of the cat basket she was given to sleep in when she was a puppy - it finished up as a base only. However, out in the country she loved to snack on sheep droppings !

    I have often put my hand in my dogs mouth and pulled out a bottle top. She seems to hunt them out especially on trains. Thankfully my dog knows better than to try and resist or close her mouth when I have my hand in there.

    On another note I use to have two gerbils and found one morning that the older of the sister had chewed three quaters of the younger sister tail off! Neither seemed to be any worse off for the event.

    Major stuff- my dad's £1000 hearing aid.:eek: Dog was asleep by the fire, and no-one saw her move till he heard the crunching noise and went to investigate.
    Less expensive stuff - the door frame, electric cables, (nothing is left switched on anymore unless it's in use!) the dining room chairs, rugs, shoes, all the usual stuff.
    Then a 5 year lull while she behaved herself. Now she's getting older and in her dotage it's all starting up again. My shoes went for a burton a while back for the first time in years.

    She's currently going for babies dummies in a big way. I generally don't realise she's found one till I hear the sniggering from passers by who find the sight of a large english bull terrier with a dummy in its gob highly amusing. She carries them just like a child would, prancing along looking really pleased with herself.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    A dog I had a few years ago bit through a few months supply of birth control pills, I don't think she had eaten any, just spat them out.

    I had just got married and moved away and so my mother had sent me them in the post until I changed doctor.

    The dog had opened the package and bit through the foil so there were teeth marks in and around each one. The vet said at least she wouldn't get pregnant.

    :rolleyes:

    Not a dog but my cat so far has eaten:

    a tampon, no idea how he managed that one but it came out the other end! I didn't realise he had eaten it until I discovered it in the litterbox covered in poo!

    The netting off DD's fairy dress, It got stuck coming out his bum and he left poo smears all over the floors. Thanks for that.

    Any food at all, He climbs all over you, jumps on your head and leans over to try and swat things off your fork.

    Earphones (5 pairs)

    Anything foil/plastic/string.

    I feel like I spend all day removing things and telling OH and DD not to leave XYZ lying around because he will eat it.

    Oh and his new thing is trying to get a magnet off my fridge, it's shaped and feels like an ounce of fat, It has chew marks and chunks out of it now!
