The always fabulous & highly entertaining Mrs. Newlywed is having a fantastic giveaway! I guess you should go check it out but don't enter though bc I want that in my house. She is giving away the Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Collection. Sounds all fancy shmancy. =) Good luck to those who enter!
Now, sort of rhetorical question time. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy can't my dog get her shit together and learn a lesson? A few posts ago everyone was introduced to Dakota aka The Bear. And I was so concerned for her well being......NOT AT THIS MOMENT ANYMORE! For those that don't know, my dog is a chewer. She ALWAYS has something in her mouth (I swear she's worse than a small child). If I gave Dakota a rock to chew, I'm fairly sure she would chew it. Now, most people don't know that she is destructive like this unless they have heard it from me, or have seen our house. It seems that her & the following items just don't get along so she feels she has to teach them a lesson by attemting to destroy them: corners, baseboards, linoleum, the upstairs couch, plastic, tv remotes and I'm sure many other things that I have yet to discover.
While she has torn up the things listed above, I did get mad but just blew it off. She did lose outside the crate priveledges when we weren't home though due to all the destructiveness. Well, this morning, as I was going to wash the NEW sheets that were bought AS A WEDDING PRESENT, I noticed one of the plastic packages open and wet. Upon further inspection, the plastic was ripped, the sheet was soaking wet and THERE WAS A RIPPED OUT PIECE ON THE EDGE OF THE SHEET. OMG I was livid. L.I.V.I.D. I just dont understand why she feels the need to do this????? I swear she has a death wish! And it was done while we were sleeping! This girl is about to be damned to her grate for every hour of the day! And she's an effin smart dog! How can she be so dumb????
Does ANYONE have any advice on how to get her to stop her chewing ways??? She has raw hides, compressed raw hides, the sterilized bones, ropes etc....all of which she uses on a daily basis but I have no idea why she transitions to stuff she knows she's not suppose to chew on. I'm at a total loss

kylie does the same thing, except obvs she's a small dog and can't destroy much.
i don't have any advice on how to keep her from chewing things except to keep items away. it's really hard, but we limit kylie to the living room/dining room/kitchen all day, everyday. she is only allowed in the bedrooms when one of us is in there and able to see what she's doing. in the lr/dr/kit we do not have anything on the floor. but dakota is also larger than kylie so i suppose she could get to things on higher ground...
ok this comment = fail! but good luck and i'll be keeping up with this post because i'm sure kylie will get there!
call the dog whisperer!!
Ohhhhhh noooo - not the set from your parents I hope??
Ya-ji eats stuff too but of course he is a cat so it just makes him sick. Mostly string, rope, tassles - that kind of stuff is what he likes. The only way I was able to deal with it it not leave anything he could potentially eat where he could get at it. I'm sure in your case there is not a way for you to pick up corners and floors though...
Maybe try some hot pepper spray on stuff you know she is apt to eat and if she is smart - after once or twice of that she should get the hint. One would think?
