I Give Up!

HOW on earth do you get a nearly grown dog to stop chewing on your stuff? It's always MY stuff, not Dan's, not ours, MINE. Unless I get up early in the morning, he chews up something of mine. Sometimes more than one something. This morning it was a knitting pattern in protective plastic sleeve that he had carefully stolen off the end table. And he had also decided to blend the colors of pink and purple wool I had left on the couch after spinning some of it last night while we watched Jack try to kill his brother on 24. (A spoiler you say? Deal with it, it's just a TV show! If you loved it that much, you would have watched when it was on instead of Tivo'ing it.)

Other days, it was one of my Birkenstocks. The 'good' pair naturally. Not the ratty ones. Sometimes it was a pillow from the couch. Oh yes, you might think that that is an OUR item, but he knows Dan doesn't give a hoot about pillows. It's a guy thing. How can I not let the couch pillows sit out?

How can anyone live in a house with nothing in it?

And all because I didn't want to live in a house with no dog in it.

I think you need to buy the dog whisperer dvd or vcr tape or whatever....then we can both learn & I can borrow it too & then I can get a dog or 2 too!!!!! in the meantime, I think I should take Cody so that he is not contaminated by the bad habits of #1 son!!!!!!!!!
maybe you wanna think about a crate tho......not for cody, just for chance!!!!! just for now....he's a good boy & he means well....

Ollie, I looked at the dog whisperer stuff but it really isn't helpful unless you catch him in the act which we never do. :( And you keep your mitts off my wonderful Cody love! 'Cept when you're here, then you can love on the boy, too. I am thinking that when I leave for the post office, somebody is going to be in the dog enclosure!
HUGS, Wabbit
