Over in gadgets and gear a fellow mentioned his dog chewed up some pretty wild equipment his wife left on the couch.

So skipping over the obvious chew toy staple of your wife's most expensive shoes, what has your dog chewed up that was unexpected and expensive?

My bulldog chewed up a brand new metal encased cellphone, and for good measure, left it in the automatic lawn sprinklers.
 
Well I have a million stories since I've had so many dogs, but the one that sticks out is our beloved human-like Great Dane, Rex, who chewed up pretty much the entire interior of our Toyota pickup truck back in the US circa 1989. The pick up was brand new too.
 
Like Emanuel, I've had dogs around me most of my life.

Besides all the usual stuff that has been chewed on, my latest dog chewed a hole in the middle of the Family Room rug (Berber Carpet) and the House and the Carpet wasn't even 1 year old at that time.

He has also chewed through the Drywall many times and Furniture.
The last thing was a pair of Prescription Glasses, frames and lenses.

Now my Avatar is sleeping in front of my Desk and the New Pup is sleeping under my desk.:yawn:

The must throw some wild Parties at Night because they sleep all day long.:D
 
I have an odd feeling zen in refering to me.

My dog has chewed up the following:

my wife's duty weapon (Glock 22)
a screen door
my favorite sandals
the legs on my kitchen table
my kitchen chairs
LOTS of tupperware
a Yatzhee game (yes the whole thing)
a network cable
the power cord to a box fan
3 TV remotes
the moulding around the kitchen
the bathroom door (including the door knob)
2 leashes
a bag of my favorite potatoe chips
numerous cat toys (no big loss there)
3 dog beds
a toilet plunger
a throw pillow

I am sure that is only the start because he isn't even a year old yet...

But my favorite story about him isn't even a chewing story. One day I left him in the bathroom when I went to work because it was cold outside and there was no way I was going to leave that chewing machine loose in the house. Well I took everything out of the bathroom, including the toilet paper because he really likes to chew that, and I thougth all would be well. My wife called me at work and told me the dog made a mess of the bathroom. He managed to pull up the stopper in the sink and turn on the faucet so the water filled up the sink and started to flood the bathroom. The best part is, when my wife got home the water was off, somehow the dog actually managed to turn the water off during all that.
 
I don't have a dog but my neighbor had one that chewed everything in the house. It chewed the furniture. It chewed the door and window frames. It chewed shoes all the time. It chewed up my neighbor's prized leather Dale Earnhardt 7th championship Intimidator ball cap. He finally got rid of it after it ate his tickets to the NASCAR race at Dover.
 
I had a dog that liked to chew through extension cords while they are plugged in and in use such as the block heater for the pickup. Damn hound managed to chew the cord completely in half without even tripping the fuse, and did it more than once. My neighbor also had a dog that could chew cords without getting zapped.
 
Some that stick out in my mind.

- Mossberg 20
- Clement Bite suit (Contrary to belief, a bite suit is NOT bite proof, and an American Bulldog can, in less than 30 minutes, reduce a 2600.00 dollar trial suit to scrap linen.
- Paver tiles
=Granite edge-overs on counters.
- Steel spade head
- One layer of drywall, the studs in the way, and another layer of drywall (Why go through a door when you can eat through a wall)
- The entire side of an easy boy recliner (Toy dropped between chair seat and arm)

- THe most disturbing of all was an old Rottweiler Female I had. Waiting for her turn to work (Personal Protection dog club) I left her in the car, only to come back to the entirety of the dashboard, to include gauges and radio, reduced to scrap, along with four inches of sterring wheel chewed clean off.
 
the last dog i had which was a german shepard ate part of a brand new garden hose. dad poured hot sauce all over the hose and we emptied her water bucket. a few hours later the hose had a spot with light teeth marks in it but nothing to hurt the hose. i called her over and offered her the hose and she wanted no part of it. then i hooked up the hose and gave her some water and she never touched the hose again.
 
Uh, my dog has never chewed anything except her toys.

The collie we used to have never even chewed toys - I suppose he was too regal and dignified for toys.
 
My Boxer Apache, was much like RWS...perfect, with no infractions....until the X-Box controller incident! :mad: He was "infracted" quite quickly to say the least. Lately he has taken a liking to Crayons...ate a whole 64 count box! My other Boxer Cheyenne (who is a complete PT), chews on my daughters toys mostly nothing too expensive yet. Her day is coming though... -Matt-
 
I can't beat wannabebum's dog chewing his wife's gun. That is classic.

My various dogs over the years have been pretty mundane stuff, but:

Chewed through a door to get out of a room.
Chewed up my Riverside Shakespeare, even though I still used it for class.
Chewed up handle of knife, and ran around carrying the knife in her mouth as I chased her.
Chewed the rubber handle off of a hammer.


Chewed up my wife's panty hose, ate them, and then had them hanging out her butt crying because she couldn't poop them out. I pulled it out and it was like a turd filled bungee cord splatting me with poop.
 
Dang, when I saw this thread, I thought it would be something to highlight my newest pup's abilities. Now, I think I'll give him a reward for not having a taste for Glocks, very many remotes, or electric cords.
I don't know that the hot sauce idea will work, though. I tried to break him of begging at the table by offering him a plate with lots of Tabasco still on it. The older dog got there first, but immdeiately turned away. Max, however, slurped it right up, then sat there waiting for more.
 
the funniest was my boston terrier who, unknown to me, ate a condom. i let him out while i had friends over and when he came busting back inside he was freaking out running all around the house and the look of horror on my guests face alarmed me. so i grabbed ahold of him and the dang thing didn't pass all the way and was stuck hanging from his butt. now this was in college and my buddies and i were known to do stupid things, but when it clicked that my guest thought we had *ahem* used the condom on the dog, embarassment is an understatment :eek:
 
I had a dog chew a library book ($50 to replace) a television remote (never found the batteries) My sister's golden lab ate most an apple tree that was about 2" in diameter at the base. I had a german shepherd/ black lab mix chew a mother coyote and 3 of her pups to death. I had a cat chew through the pull cords on most of my venitian blinds and an electric cord. It did shock him but didn't kill him.
 
Beagle: Four pairs of shoes, socks, corner of the ceder chest, blankets, trees, ton of toys that she has destroyed, one pitbull who has a great temp, rocks and concrete pieces and one cord but only once (biggest yep I have ever heard).

This is minor in comparison to some of you guys:

Jack Russell Terrier

Has swallowed two pairs of panties whole. He chokes them down in about 2 seconds. Both times after midnight on a work day, ugh. Brought him to the pet emergency room for a 2 hour vomiting session each time. The vet finally told me that we could do it at home using hydrogen peroxide.

Has chewed up about 12 other pairs of panties, but did not eat them whole.

4 cds
1 remote
2 pairs of headphones
kids toys
2 dog beds
 
Damn add my diner!!! Damn it the burgers were perfect. Jump on the bed and grabbed them as I was going to get something to drink.

Yes that is the one. I didn't want to spoil it in case you wanted to post here. Little did I know you had a laundry list of chewing offences. :eek:
