Aksel hasn't eaten anything he wasn't supposed to and hasn't chewed anything up that he wasn't supposed to. The one exception is doggie beds. He thinks they are just a big fluffy toy and he destroys them instead of sleeping in them. We gave him some blankets of his own instead - he leaves them alone. He isn't even 2 yet. He destroys squeaky toys in seconds. He is a rat terrier so it's a breed trait to seek and destroy. Lol. He won't rest until he pulls all the stuffing out.
Once, when we first got Layla, I left her in the living room on her bed. The bed was tan. Our furniture is dark brown. I woke up the next morning to find dark brown fluff strewn from one end of my house to the other. I immediately thought my furniture was gone. Turns out the stuff from the dog bed was also dark brown.
Hahaha!!! I would have freaked out!!!
Oh, I did. Seriously did. For a minute. Or at least until I realized my furniture was okay.
Have you guys ever seen that show, "Bad Dog", on Animal Planet?
Some of those dogs, did thousands of dollars worth of damage.
I love our animals. And, thankfully, they have never ripped apart a leather sectional. Or chewed through a bunch of carpeting, etc.
I really wonder, what I would do....if we had a pet who was that destructive.
I would be so sad. That's for sure.
Sushi the Destroyer is a twenty pound Tonkinese cat. He's not overweight, just really big and muscular.
First he clawed all the upholstery off the couch. Then demolished the stuffing. Now it's down to the bare wood frame. I certainly can't buy a new couch, as he'll do the same thing.
He has scratching posts but chooses not to use them.
One word. Declaw.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
Weltz - I don't think I would have let it get that far. Wow. I value my pets but I value my furniture too. Did you try and train him when he was doing it? Claw the furniture and get squirted with a squirt gun? Did anything help?

No. How would you like your fingernails ripped out?

I did the squirt thing. It didn't phase him.
Why do you think I'm his fourth owner? He's a pain in the butt. He screams, steals food, destroys furniture, but also has his good points.
He's really smart, makes friends with everyone instantly and is incredibly affectionate.

You know who else is smart and makes friends easily? Psychopaths!! Lol

He's a pain in the ass.
He's lucky that he's so good-looking. I think that's why people kept taking him from the SPCA. He's pretty and he's expensive. Tonks start at a grand and it could go higher with lineage.
They kept bringing him back because he's so annoying. You don't do that to critters.
He has a forever home here.

I just made myself two open-faced sandwiches of fresh rye bread, cream cheese, dill, and topped with smoked salmon.
I went to get a glass of water, and when I returned, all the salmon was gone from one of them.
-Sushi!! Did you do this?
-Who, me? Of course not!
-Well, it didn't just swim away.
-It must have.
