Reader Submission: A Wrecked Retainer

A reader (okay my wife's mom) sent me this picture of the retainer that their dog, Roscoe, destroyed.

Total Cost of Destruction: $250

The Pottery Barn Chew Toy

Not sure which animal did this one, but my wife's favorite chair took a beating, I mean an eating, one evening.  Both humans and canines agree- it is a very comfortable chair.  Some animal also believed that it would taste good too and gnawed on the edges of the armrest.

The Unfortunate Umbrella

One day, Charlie got a hold of an umbrella.  He did what he does.  The next day: It rains.  That was expected, right?

Good Shoe Gone

Most dogs love a good pair of shoes.  Charlie enjoys taking the best shoes that you have as a chew toy.  My wife loved these comfortable shoes.  So did the dogs.

Timeline of Bobo Destruction

Our dogs love their chew toys.  We gave the dogs a Christmas Bobo and here's what happened.  At least in this case, they were supposed to destroy it.

In the beginning, they both go crazy over the toy.

Eventually, Augi tires of the game and Charlie settles down to work.

Almost done.  The squeakers and fuzz are flying everywhere.

The End.  Another Bobo bites the dust.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

*Note:  Apparently dogs love these squeak toys because they simulate the sound animals in the wild make when they die.  Isn't that a pleasant thought.
