You're going to return a chewed-up plant? Why would they take it back if it's not in the same condition it was when they sold it to you?

Cause I am a mean fucking bitch AND I LOVE to scam people.

Seriously. Call Home Depot or go online if you would like to find our more about their return policy for their plants. They only started chewing (as I mentioned in my post), since you asked, I broke off the small branch and it looks new.

To add: Just got off of the phone w/ my local Home Depot...1 YEAR guarantee w/ receipt, no matter what. I love Home Depot.

I have three dogs and they don't chew on anything. When Muppet was a baby, she shredded some paper money she pulled off the coffee table, but since then she's never done anything. The little ones have never chewed up anything. I guess I'm lucky, we can leave paper and remotes and shoes out and they never even sniff them.

Troy (aka Troible). This dog loves to find things to prance around the house with. He thinks it is great fun to get me all worked up about what is in his mouth. He now knows "come" and "drop", thank goodness. But until he learned that, he has chewed:
From my purse:
lipstick
wallet - searched for it high and low, finally found it out in the backyard with my ID and credit cards scattered.
cell phone

Other places around the house:
eye glasses
clip-on shade for replacement glasses - still wearable - they just have designer chew marks in the corner.
underwear
socks
lots of lunchmeat from countertop. He finally got scared when a plate under the lunchmeat came crashing down on the tile.
Pens
Pencils
stickies to mark book pages.
Address book.
Plastic grocery bags get shredded pretty fast when I get home with groceries. I am now getting in the habit of using cloth grocery bags.
Gardening gloves.
Ewww--can't forget that fly catcher stuff that stinks like no tomorrow, found scattered under the bed.
regular knit winter gloves.
pants pockets where treats were.
Carpet borders next to bedroom door
Plastic lunch totes.
Empty gallon water jugs used for fish tank that I keep and reuse to weigh down my agility tunnels.

Maya loves my shoes. She runs in the bedroom every morning to look for a shoe to carry out in the backyard. If she can't find a shoe, she'll take whatever she can find on the floor - bath towel, t-shirt.
Most all of my shoes have her teeth marks in them. I still wear them.

Grayson ate a whole bottle of Rimadyl meant for another dog. He stayed at the ER vet who scolded us and acted as if we hand fed him the whole bottle.

Ok. Good to know.

In the past week, Lilly has chewed up another pair of flip-flops, a ballpoint pen, and a plastic water bottle.

Riki once destroyed 15 packages of O'berto (sp?) beef jerky.

that photo is so cute.
my cat enjoyed shredding newspapers and any paper we left on the floor, it was her favorite plaything.

Oh, PrairieGirl! I would not have wanted to be around once the farting started! I bet it was BAD!

ETA: It's hard to blame her for that. In dog logic, it probably looked just like her dog treats.

Teddy, the junkyard dog: library books and TV remotes

Ollie the nutball: the little loops on the backs of shoes.

Jacko the runt: the corner of a wardrobe, a blanket and a rug.

Livvie the baboon-face: the wooden corner of a couch.

I guess we've been lucky!

ETA: Those were all dogs. I also had parakeets and they absolutely adored book covers. One of them also completely gutted an oven mitt.

Retard Cat:

cat beds (barf/ multiple washings)
towels (barf/ multiple washings)
expensive headphones (chewed)
carpet (pee)
grout (from cleaning the pee on the tile floor)

Fat-assed cat:

any plant, real or fake
uhm... that's it really...

Fuzzball dog:

area of carpet in our apartment (he dug when he was a puppy)

Sweetie dog:

chewed the windowsill of the house after we adopted him
carpet, furniture (pee)
numerous cat and dog toys

The fuzzball dog is a natural digger and LOVES to dig, well, anything, but we have just been really lucky with getting him to not dig constantly.

The other dog is a natural chewer and destroys toys, so we only have a very few he can use without supervision.

That photo is priceless! What a face...how could you be mad at that sweet face

She's saying... "Mommy I'm so sorry don't be mad, it just smelled and tasted so good!"

My golden gave me a look like that when I caught him eating the couch...he told me it was his inner wolf and therefore not his fault! Yeah mmmhmm

Jen

PG- That has got to be one of the cutest pet photos I have ever seen!

I love it.....your doggy looks so sweet and cute and huggable and kissable, lol!

Jen -- LOL at the "inner wolf!"

BeachBum -- yes, that was exactly what she was. This was our Golden who died in '04, age 16 years and 3 weeks. I've got another great Golden now (Niki -- yeah, we're not very original), but I still ache for Riki sometimes.

P.G I love the pix of your dog Riki what a face. May she
I know the feeling I still miss my Misty so.

I wish I could lay claim to Misty destroying anything for purposes of this thread only, lol.
But alas she never did.
She was a perfect angel may she And she graduated top of her class in obedience school
Which is what I would recommmend to any dog owner period.
Thus eliminating the destruction of valuables in your home as I did.

And I am very Lucky to have Boots who with his claws in, so far,
( knock on wood) has not torn up anything of mine other then a pillow. But I was able to sew it back up, and it is good as new. And he knows now scratching is for his scratch post only!

Lilly just chewed up another pen. Sigh...maybe I should buy stock in Bic.
