Things my dog has destroyed

For anyone considering getting a puppy, especially a lab puppy, you should know, they have insatiable appetite(If I let her, my dog will eat til she barfs, eat the barf, and then eat some more), strong jaws, and not very discerning taste. Before I had a kennel for her, I came home to some unsightly destruction scenes. The apartment had been ransacked..Pieces of unidentifiable(until I located the destroyed product) garbage lay everywhere, and there, usually in the middle of my bed, there she lay with whatever it was she felt like destroying..all with the most innocent expression a guilty puppy can muster. I have no photos of the remnants, but here is a list of everything I can remember her eating:


My Zen stone mp3 player (while it was docked to the computer)
at least 5 bras.. she still will try to get them if she sees them
2 sets of headphones, including josh's wireless ones
underwear.. she still tries to get my undies.. I know, Gross.
a Spatula
plastic elephant bank
most of my old stuffed animals
half full waterbottles( those are what she likes to eat on the bed.. fun stuff)
she has tried to eat the wooden legs off my wingback chair
a phone charger
a laptop power chord (while it was still plugged in..she didn't chew it for long)
some of my plastic orange tupperware containers
circle k cups, again while with liquid still inside them
3 ps2 controllers (and she almost destroyed a Wii mote and chuck, but we caught her on that one before any real damage was done)
my 'best of friends vol. 2' dvd
the cat brush
at least 7 pairs of shoes (between josh and I)

That is what I can remember her eating off the top of my head. Some would get rid of the dog at this point, but Bowie, as hungry as she is, is a wonderful dog. She is sweet, a huge cuddlebug, smart (she really does want to please)playful with kids and the cat, a good watchdog, and I couldn't imagine getting rid of her, despite my loss of personal property. Her chewing has improved, and she does better with her toys now (while she was chewing everything in sight, she did have toys.. just wanted to make that clear), and really tries not to chew what she isn't supposed to. Labs make wonderful pets for those with patience and not too much attachment to their things. She is a part of the family and we love her.. our chewy naughty little puppy :D
