What did your dog chew up?

[h2ofowlr]

I had to take my lab to the vet as he stopped eating.  The vet took an x-ray and he had swallowed a 6 oz decoy weight.  They had to open him up to remove it.  I had placed a nice white cone on his neck so he wouldn't chew out the stiches.  I went to visit my parents and left him in there bathroom on his mat while we ran to town real quick, as there yard isn't fenced.  When I got back I could hear him whining and digging at the door.  When I opened the door he had nearly dug a hole threw the side of the door, chewed the counter top, crushed the door knob and dug a hole through the linoleum near the door.  Man my dad was pissed.  And he managed to get the cone off his head and chew it up real good.  I think we were only gone a ½ hour.  I spent the rest of the weekend remodeling there bathroom for them.  It was one expensive weekend.

I had a lab chew up a 18ft dia. pool. Looked out the window the second day we had it and saw blue pieces all over the yard  

Next, I have a cousin who manages a machinery rental place and as a family member I get free rentals. I was putting in a new backyard and he loaned me a brand new backhoe, it had maybe 2 hrs on it. The next day morning I look out the window to see black and yellow pieces all over the yard, he chewed the entire seat into little pieces. I freaked not knowing how much that would cost and whether or not I would ever be able to "rent" anymore equip for him again. I called him and explained the situation and everyone in the place died laughing. Ended up costing me $100 for a new seat. This high dollar lab pup barked all the time as well and after a year and a half I gave him back to my wifes uncle.

h2ofowlr, welcome to my world. All my dogs as pups chewed stuff up, but labs have chewed of stuff as adults. We constantly try to monitor Gus so we don't have more vet bills or bill to pay for materials to fix stuff he has chewed up!!!!!

Ive got a red heeler{rat on acid} thats eats everthing,shes been eating gravel and pooping rocks,she ate a rug,caught her running around with a turd hanging by threads about 12 inches long looked like she was trooling.

forgot to mention when I was a kid we had a dog that ate my crayons and pooped different colors in the back yard

Mine would chew on lamp cords when she was a pup.  There is a natural consequence to chewing electrical cords but it took a surprisingly long time for her to learn not to.

My buddy has a yellow lab and these are things he's told me:

Nothing like going out to clean up the piles in your yard, only to find Barbie staring back at you from one of them.

Crayons make for a creepy sort of art, but 150 yds of fishing line just plain sucks.

A coffee can half full of cigarette butts didn't even make it to the other end. Puked up in the kitchen. He did keep down a lit cigar once though.

Had a GSP that tore the headliner out of our LTD station wagon when I was a kid. I guess he wanted out! Started at the back window and then finished the job out of frustration. (We had left him in the car to spend the morning in goose blinds and he was too much of a spaz to take along!)

My current Lab chewed the toe off my Tony Lama cowboy boots when he was a puppy. That was the end of them! Glad they were a gift, if I knew what they had cost I'd have probably killed him!

Never had a problem with adult Labs chewing. The GSP's yes, but after the Lab's finished being puppies, it stopped. My Bulldogs don't chew... they try to swallow crazy stupid things, but chewing isn't an issue!

Back before I was married I was "entertaining" a young gal and had "Finished up". I removed the "protective device" and attempted to throw it into the wastebasket in the corner. I was unaware that my lab was sitting at the base of the bed and just as I released it I hear this "WOMP" he swallowed it before I could pry his mouth open   I was worried that it would back him up inside and I would have to explain how it got there to the Vet.   Never did find it.

Becareful he still may spit it up and you will have to explain this to the wife!!

I hope not, that was 19 years ago and the dog is dead

Not a dog, but we had a cat who ate the tinsel off the Christmas tree.  We'd see her running around with silver tinsel hanging out of her butt.

My lab also chewed the wiring to my boat trailer a few times.  That was a pain in the ass.  Go to pull the boat out in the morning and I would have no lights.  Finally made the set up bullet proof, but it took 3 times.

I have a Lab-Border collie mix and in the last two weeks has chewed up 150.00 in garden hoses. We found it cheaper to just repair them now!
