My darling little Harley has only every chewed one thing.

The front seatbelts on my OH's NEW BMW!!!!!!!

The dog grill did not fit without an extra attachment (which has now been bought and fitted!), but seeing as he only came over the back seats when left alone in the car didn't think it would be a problem. Came back an he'd chewed the seatbelts. They're going to have to be replaced (lease car) and will be over £200 each!!!!

I looked on the bright side and said at least it wasn't the steering wheel....
 
My darling Greyhound ate my easter egg, a packet of the pill and some pain killers.

Was gutted about the egg!!!!!:eek:

He was fine after his little midnight snack.

Figured he must have had the Eater Egg got belly ache so had some pain killers, not sure why the pill though. lol :D
 
A digital camera and a mobile phone .... that was an expensive day.

Needless to say, they are now not given the opportunity to scoff whatever takes their fancy!!
 
Pip chewed through her lead on our first holiday when she was tiny....We stopped at a lovely pub for a drink by the river. Next thing all the ducks were going crazy and we turned to see her swimming after them, I could have died. Thats when her recall was almost non-existent, hence the lead, and it took us ages to catch her. We were both soaking and rather grumpy by the end of that! The locals got a good laugh though!
 
When our Lab was a puppy he chewed many things, the washing machine door, walls, the back door, there the main ones i remember.

My yorkie chewed my mums phone when she was a puppy, it still worked but had teeth marks all over it :o

Off the top of my head can't think of anything out jack russell has chewed, there must be something though.
 
When Ebby was a pup she chewed the handle off a screw driver, her bed and the bottom of all the kitchen cupboards!
I think I got off very lightly compared to some of your stories!!
 
The puppies haven't really done any damage but their mother is a serious mischief maker... Things chewed include;

1. £400 out of a strangers wallet in cash... I caught her very gently pulling the notes out but wasn't able to catch her in time before she shredded the lot (she likes to shred money). By the way you can claim it back with some serious form filling and if you have enough of the remains if this ever happens to you. I had to do alot of claiming back and still have a pile of bits of bank note that need to be sent off. She is a superb, discrete and cunning pick pocket!
2. a certain area of my johds which lead to a very mortifying experiance... many bras and knickers have been turned into items more apropriate for a rude film than actual supportive underwear, socks of course.
3. Car seats not the backs the seat so she can ruff it up to make herself comfortable and its always the drivers seat
4. She collected a friends rabbit from the garden and "accidentially" killed it on the way in to bring it to us...
5. Corners of books is also a good way to catch someones attention at bed time for her digestive buscuit...
6. a few wild rabbits, a handfull of mice, couple of rats and also a robin and some sparrows and starlings...

She will go through good phases then the devil will overcome her and she will be a minx! She always looks as if butter wouldn't melt whenever she does anything really naughty.
 
- The sleeve of a Berghaus jacket
- The leather case from a pair of Ray-Bans (somehow not touching the glasses within!?)
- My old mobile phone (left working but dented)
- Two £10 notes (thankfully only slightly damp and ripped, I got them replaced at the bank by a lady who thought it very amusing)

Hurrah for the reintroduction of the crate. :o
 
Oscar has had the lining out of my Mum's new walking boots, the utility room lino floor, a needle and thread :eek:, the case from my new camera, a biro - while sitting on a pale carpet, the first chapter of my favourite book and I'm sure there are loads more that I've forgotten.

Dash has so far just eaten a set of cork coasters but he is a great one for hiding shoes at the bottom of the garden lol
 
one of my labs chewed my brand new saddle cloth which i had got for my birthday embroidered with my name on one side & my horse's on the other. all our kitchen knives have teeth marks on the handle, they chewed the table legs in the dining room & one of them is forever eating her bed (how is this sensible? she then has no where to sleep!) dont you just love the determination of labradors... everything is edible if you try hard enough!

another one where she didnt actually eat anything but took all the wine glasses off the shelf after a party & laid them all in the garden! there were about 40 glasses & only one got broken. not sure what the objective of this project was but she seemed pleased with herself!

as for actually edible things, one ate an easter egg a week before easter as the door of the wardrobe in my parents bedroom (where they are not allowed to go) was left open an inch. another time i had made a birthday cake for a friend, went into the kitchen an hour later to find a big bite taken out of it! at xmas one year the dog went charging at the xmas tree to get a chocolate from the top of it, no need to point out tree & dog both went flying, was quite funny though. then she opened a xmas present that apparently contained chocolate! then there was the time i was sat in the lounge & the dog kept running out of the room then coming back & hiding then running out again, she kept going to the fruit bowl & getting an individual grape, coming into the lounge, eating it & going for another! once there was 3/4 of a dish of lasagne left on the work top in the kitchen but my brother forgot to close the door. when we went back the dish was still on the work top, but completely empty! it looked as though it had just been in dishwasher, wasnt a trace of lasagne to be seen. one of the dogs had very garlicy smelling breathe so no idea where the lasagne had gone...

my parents were staying at a friend's house with the dogs. they had been shopping & came in to find one of my dogs licking out a (now empty) butter dish & the other dog asleep in the other room. dog found with the butter was told off etc but then half an hour later the other dog was sick & the butter re-appeared! she is so sneaky, she will have heard my parents get back & run into the other room knowing full well the other dog would find the dish & be licking it out when my parents came in so the wrong dog would get into trouble!

aww i love dogs, so much amusement!
 
Over the summer, Prince chewed my dental retainer--my $900 dental retainer, that is--into small chunks. I think it's payback for us having seven of his teeth removed.
 
Poppy chews everything. Hoofpick, book, various cables, the cat scratching post, the bathroom carpet, assorted socks, OH's boxers. Anything except her chew toys really...

Funniest was when OH dropped a chicken nugget - she was in there like a shot, nicked it from the floor and ran round the house with it til it was cool enough for her to eat. She was so pleased with herself.
 
Well, let me think....
the new lino in the kitchen, lots of plants, shoes boots and slippers, books, carpets, the brand new leather sofa, TV cabinet, kitchen cupboards, thats enough for now, I hadn't realised how much they have wrecked!
I do remember when we moved house, Minnie, who is no longer here ate the tulip heads, and any other flower in the whole garden. She also ate all the strawberries before we could pick them. We had a BBQ and she pinched the bangers off the top, they must have been so hot!!
 
A £500 rug, kindly bought for us by my MIL. Briefly went out, left my old terrier in the lounge, who promptly had a case of the runs - on the rug!:eek::mad: It was a long tufted rug, very fluffy & I tried hard to get the mess out but it had to be chucked, it was less than a week old!
 
My sister in laws dog destroyed the seatbelt on my husbands 30 year old MG midget and the soft hood too. I had to give him a large drink before telling him what his sisters dog had done to his pride and joy.
 
Henry (bless his little cotton socks) once ate my car keys, including the microchip which started the bleddy thing! This was made worse by the fact that the little toad took them off the kitchen table, as he is a jack russell, he had to first climb on the kitchen chair and then the table - this to me showed malice aforethought! :p

I did not have any spare keys sooooo, the whole car had to be towed away to a Ford garage to be reprogrammed to accept a whole new set of keys :mad:

I was not a happy bunny :mad: everyone else (RAC, Garage etc) thought it was hilarious :eek:
 
It would be easier to tell you what he hasn't chewed...

*Shoes - all varieties! His normal trick is to chew one of the heels on several pairs...:mad:
*Clothes - yes any clothing he takes his fancy to which has been left within reach! He normally chews it after he has finished lying on it!
*Books
*Remote controls
*Mats to put hot drinks on coffee table
*Doesn't go in the bin but chews the bin lid?!
*Rips up anything which is not how he likes to be comfortable i.e Bedding

He is a staffy cross.....even when we buy him toys he just rips them into little pieces!!
Costs me a fortune he does :rolleyes:
 
Well.... first of all the keyboard lead at work... but then she chewed the internet lead to the computer at work... then the computer stopped working after that so had to have a new computer! (ssh! dont tell the boss!) and then it was the internet wire at home....then one of the rear seatbelts in my Pajero....one of the worst things was that she had found a carcass of a badly decompising chicken and she was sick as a dog for a couple of hours after that......:(
 
Otto as a rule doesn't chew, he has however squashed a memory card full of precious pony pictures after deciding e needed to fetch it to me :mad: He thought he was so clever too!

However, I bought a new bed the other day and he chewed two of the wooden dowel thingys, whilst they were in the bits of wood, so I couldn't put any new ones in. Bed is now bodged together and will hopefully stay together!
 
As a puppy he chewed many Pairs of shoes, chair legs, a wooded picture frame! (He climbed up on the table while we were out to reach it)! My brace, and my dads false tooth!!

Love him tho!! Hes 13 now
 
My parents had a retreiver, she chewed:
- Numerous shoes and other small items
- The kitchen flooring
- The kitchen cabinets
- The skirting boards
- She also liked a hand sized hole in the lounge carpet just in the middle of where you walked in so it couldn't be hidden!

All items had to be replaced which included a whole new kitchen and lounge carpet. She only lived until she was five due to a heart problem, those five years were very, very expensive! Despite this she was a lovely dog and deeply missed.

These are just the things I can remember - my dogs are just so "chewy"!!!
 
Last year my beagle ate a huge chocolate hound i'd had made especially for my Dad's birthday, and had carefully unwrapped all the 'mini hounds' and ate them too. I was so, so gutted as I had nothing to give my Dad the next day. :( Learnt my lesson about leaving anything within nomming distance :rolleyes:

My JRT was so nervous when I came down in the morning to the scene of the crime, he refused to get out of his basket as if to say 'it wasn't me, i've been here all along!' :p
