[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My wife's Border Terrier, on the other hand has chewed 2 Xbox memory units, 1 DVD remote sender, 4 alarm clocks, 337 pencils, 100+ small plush toys, the power cable from my Contax Digi P&S battery charger, a 1GB SD memory card in its case and yesterday an entire bottle of white correction fluid on the new carpet (the white muzzle was a giveaway although he tried to plant the evidence on our Schnauzer). He can open sliding cupboard doors, and apparently is on a mission to rid his world of stationery, electronics and toys. I keep the M bag WAAY up high. I've taken away his ladder building tools.
