As I was replacing a shoelace in my tennis shoe I reflected on the times Zoe would chase me around snapping at my shoelaces, tempting targets. She has moved on to greener pastures and now has an appetite for eyeglasses and pens. After replacing three pair of glasses I finally established the habit of placing them on the mantlepiece whenever I don't need them to read. Pens have proved a more challenging target. If I set one down in a distracted moment, the next sound I hear is of crunching plastic. The time I have to grab the remnant before she frees the ink cartridge is crucial! Thankfully she isn't interested in consuming any of these items, preferring to destroy them. Each of our dogs seemed to have different favorite chew targets. One went for leather, chomping on the Bible cover. Another was fascinated with cords and especially liked out of the way ones under beds. One dog remained fixated on rodent poop despite our constant scoldings. Fortunately all of them have been quick to snarf up any bits that fall to the floor while we are cooking. Except for mushrooms. Somehow they all have drawn the line on mushrooms! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
