They do have their moments don't they!!!

Tigger is also very prone to that kind of nonsense!

Bet your workmates loved that excuse They do keep us on our toes!

It's OK Bella didn't eat the hoover, but she does look a bit like a cylinder hoover

Poor girl - she is nothing like a hoover!
My optician friend says dogs seem to love chewing glasses cause he's forever got folk in needing new ones because of the dog. Indiana is forever nicking things but rarely destroys them - apart from glasses. I've has to replace three sets so far!

Prince Chad wouldn't do any of that nonesense he is far too well behaved but if I look back at my other dogs behaviour I always stop at one - Charlie... he was a greyhound with real character.
The day we got him he tried to eat our ****ateel this was just the start....
He munched up the whole house whilst we were out. As soon as our backs were turned he was destroying things. It all came to a head with firstly - me coming in to find,.. well I thought my house had been burgled it was so bad!Door frames ripped off carpets scraped until they were rags, he ate our new cabinet doors in the kitchen and pooped absolutely everywhere after stealing all my boys easter eggs! My husband really thought we had made a dredful mistake with him.If you went for a few minutes he would have the whole kitchen bin out and have ripped something up in anger. We had to get a crate in the end to control him if both of us were out. I've only worked part time so it was not like I was gone all day.
The really bad thing he did was chew through a fence until there was a hole big enough to get through the other side where he chewed through solid chicken wire and went through that (cutting his face) only to then catch and savage an innocent yorkshire terrier that was barking in another garden. All this happened in a space of about a half hour and cost us hundreds in vet bills and a whole new six foot fence to put right.I was so ashamed to have such a bad doggie.He chased my neighbours cat the day we replaced the fence.. right up her stairs!!!
I had to contact the RSPCA to help save a poor hedgehog that he chewed, he killed a couple. The spines were horrific but his instinct was so strong. We had a tame blackbird who used to come into the utility room. One year she nested and as soon as her babies fledged he killed one.She mounted such an attack on him it was sad but funny looking back how hard she flew at him with her beak and claws (risking her own life). All this happened during the course of a year.
He also managed to escape through an open gate and got hit by a vehicle and nearly died. In the end a companion dog calmed him right down and we no longer needed the crate, the difference was unbelieveable. He also lost the will to run away after being hit by the car and was even behaving enough to be let off lead.
The funny thing is out of all the dogs we've ever had we both have a very soft spot for him. I think it was the challenge of calming him down and instilling a bit of training (less instinct) that bonded us to him.
We had one terrible year with him but nine wonderful ones after and that's what counts. Em and Chad xx

My Lulu was also a kleptomaniac when I first got her. Always stealing things and hiding them in her bed, all tucked up under her blanket but never destroying anything. Lulu has also been beset by disasters and has cost me an absolute fortune one way or another. When she had been with me for 2 years my vet printed off a clinical histroy to take to hospital with her. I was floored by the 22 veterinary visits listed (22 visits in 24 months!). Just like Em and Chad, of all the dogs I have had I have a real soft spot for her. I think it is because she keeps me on my toes so much.
