Jazz thinks they are a great toothbrush! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-07-10T16:25:48.000Z tsuki got to the hub's lawn mowing shoes.. and ever so 'neatly' cleaned off all the embedded grass for him. And then played with it. All over the house. ## Ryu · 2008-07-10T16:38:17.000Z so funny you should ask! Found this nice surprise this morning - ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-07-10T16:48:25.000Z It's been awhile since Nemo has chewed up anything of signifigance. I guess that is one good thing about a dog getting a bit older. DJ - you should try rotating toys in and out of availability for your Shiba to get at. Toys that are out all the time become boring and old hat. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-07-10T16:57:03.000Z I agree with Brandon - Jazz doesn't chew on a whole lot (older shiba, I guess) outside her toys. The only thing I can come up with are the golf balls and a small stuffed toy that was my nephew's. The golf balls were my fault as they were in an open box on the floor in a room that Jazz had access to - she got about 1/3 of the ones in there. ## glacier · 2008-07-10T17:13:53.000Z Sasha doesn't chew on things anymore- but Cobalt loves paper towels and cds ## _dlroberts · 2008-07-10T18:54:41.000Z You guys are going to jinx me if you keep asking.... ## StaticNfuzz · 2008-07-10T19:14:00.000Z 6 months ago....Baseboard to kitchen cabinet & trim....trying to get to a mouse overnight. Plastic was chewed as the dogs got up under in ....the evidence came out in the poop seen the next day. Per evidence both were guilty (LOL) ...They did catch the mouse later in the week though. I guess it came out of the hold that was opened. We have baby locks on our kitchen cabinets because the dogs know how to open doors/pop handles of various types including crates. Well I guess the Shibas thought if they can't open it they would just try to tunnel in. : ( We repaired/covered up and fixed only to have the dogs maul the metal flang ....I finally gave up and let them check out the hole every once in a while. We plan to have the kitchen redone so I didn't freak too much. Last week I found one of my shibas jumping up against the refridge. Turns out she has a new form of entertainment......popping off the magnets and trying to pull off notes tagged on the front by magnet clips. Why ....cause it's fun.......Sheesh.....the things they think up. Snf ## ddowdemers · 2008-07-10T19:18:33.000Z Believe it or not.....a book entitled, "Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor. Ya think he's telling me something? ## tobyshiba · 2008-07-10T20:35:52.000Z Hmm. The legs of the table, two pairs of shoes, my stuffed bear, the chair legs. :O ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-07-10T21:04:15.000Z We just picked our pups up from boarding yesterday - while being boarded Kona chewed Loa's collar off, then when we got them I took Kona out to the car and went back to get the Shibees and Hilo [they kennel together] and Kona chewed strait through his leash in the 2 minutes he was in the car with Loa. The proof... Both: Kona's: Loa's: ---- ## LoveMyMylie · 2008-07-10T22:13:00.000Z Well.... Mylie's still a pup and I don't have pictures of things she's chewed. I've had her since March & sofar she has: chewed table legs & chairs... every table in the house! left her mark on a few pairs of shoes ruined the carpet at the top of the stairs... now needs replaced made a blue tooth headset her chew toy gnawed on a laptop charger stolen every towel and blanket she can get her paws on destroyed random cardboard boxes (her favorite) chewed the stairs tried to eat her gate left teeth marks on her crate chewed on the hardwood floor! thankfully it needs re sanded anyway chewed holes in shampoo & lotion bottles pulled stuffing out from underneath the couch attacked her bed put holes in the air pump for the wood stove ripped unfinished drywall off the walls in the living room tried to eat my fingers and toes!!! & if she finds my clothes clean or dirty, she'll take off with them... This is why I call her my little monster!! She's getting much better about chewing on things these days, let's hope by stating that I didn't jinx myself! Thanks to the advice in this forum, I have learned that her crate is my new best friend & that it bothers me to lock her inside, more than it bothers her. (Thanks everyone.) ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-07-10T22:47:22.000Z Tupperware, ALWAYS Tupperware ## sujewel · 2008-07-10T22:55:54.000Z The weird thing is they don't really tear anything up anymore. Well, Mika grew out of it a few years ago. What they do is steal stuff and lick it to death! I bought a Pooh Bear for my friend's baby last month. A week after I purchased the bear, I found it on the floor.....slightly damp. This morning, was the most recent incident. Keigo LOVES Kurt's knee pillow (he sleeps on his side with a pillow between his knees). Keigo hopped up on the bed, looked at me and grabbed the pillow. I said 'HEEEEEYYYYY'. He then dropped the pillow promptly and looked at me like 'It wasn't me!!!!!!' ## Romi (admin) · 2008-07-11T01:41:52.000Z Im not sure who is the one to do it...but whenever no one is home and we leave the dogs out (usually if we step out for a short while)...they somehow ALWAYS get a hold of paper, magazines, or napkins and tear it to shreds! We always come home and its like confetti all over the carpet. It makes me appreciate my Dyson so much on those days :) ## hondru (moderator) · 2008-07-11T04:48:11.000Z My dogs have turned on Isaac's wooden blocks today for some reason. They're all doing it, but Rakka can break them in half with one chomp, whereas the other two just leave little teeth marks. Rakka must have incredibly strong jaws because she can break almost anything before I even know she's chewing on it. For instance, I once put down a tupperware container for her to lick off and when she was done licking, she gave it one chomp and had a huge crack down the middle. Another time, I put her out on a leash to dry because she had gotten covered in pond slime and I turned around to do something and when I turned back, she had chomped right through the nylon leash! She also chewed up a marrow bone, even though everything I read says dogs are only supposed to be able to eat the middle. Oh yes, and let's not forget the time she chewed through a door to get out of a room. I'm lucky she's not all that inclined to chew forbidden items, or everything I own would be pulverized. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-07-11T06:32:13.000Z Nothing much. The main door's door stop rubber cap, when he first came. And lately, he chewed the strap of Nat's favourite flip flops, rendering them unusable. And he loves to get Nyx's toys when she drops them. ## asian.sapphire · 2008-07-13T20:34:21.000Z Nowadays, it's the garden hose and sprinkler--if it's left out--and the house. Not to mention leashes or the tether--if she's left on them unsupervised. She occassionally has a pica habit, so I'll see her pick up rocks and try to naw on them. She's really good about not doing anything inappropriate in the house. When I first got Kimi, she chewed on leashes, her harness, a collar (don't ask how she did that. I came home from work one day and it was gnawed in pieces.), a cell phone charger while it was plugged in (apparently she needed a jolt and electricution doesn't phase her), her dog house and the doggie pool. ## zoiegirl · 2008-07-16T14:20:29.000Z Heels...
