Bad dog
Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 9:48PM When we got Buddy from the animal shelter, we weren't quite sure why he had been abandoned. He was found as a stray without a collar or tag, and he's not the type of dog to run away.
I think I now know. By the time we came home, he had chewed through a bar of the cage, destroyed the rubber mat, carpet, and underpad. He also bit through a few computer cables that were a good foot from the cage, and destroyed a mouse. Probably a good $2,000 damage. (Makes the Coke pillow he destroyed yesterday seem pretty minor.)
I'm running out of ideas on what to do with him while we're out during the day. Not sure Buddy is going to make it until that dog show I talked about!

Wow, I had a dog like that once, actually ate through a door but it has been horribly abused and finally the vet suggested it had brain damage and he found a home for Quincy. I think Wendy e-mailed you about this but hot sauce stopped Elway from swiping bread and food from the counter and Hutch, well Hutch would be crushed if a loaf of bread fell on him.
Looks like a job for Nanny 911(www.fox.com/nanny911/ ) !!
perhaps you should put buddy in some dog training classes....
