Now there's a big spot of hardened glue hidden behind some couch pillows.<br /> Most recently he had the runs on the living room rugs. I had to throw them both out!<br /> Surprisingly though, he hasn't ruined any of T's things. </p> <p>My dog needs to get a job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025199 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:03:56 +0000 Synchronicity 2025199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are scratch marks on the front door and front windows from her trying to get the poor mailman, and a few dings on the floor from dropping her bone, but I think that's it. She's super well-behaved around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025197 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:03:20 +0000 mrs. bird 2025197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>whatever they can get their paws on! curtains in my br &amp; the living room, blinds, dining room chairs, the couch, many pairs of nylons, all winter hats with tassels or pompoms, a bunch of christmas ornaments, a $$ fake decorative tree, one of them ripped the sheets on my bed the other day, the corners of the drawers on my dresser have teeth marks (winifred can open dresser drawers and she steals underwear and nylons &amp; leaves them everywhere). i have to keep the kitchen cabinets closed with latches because they open them and throw things out onto the floor :( the kittens are almost one and they're terrors, everyone says they'll calm down, i'm not going to hold my breath though!</p> <p>ETA: i forgot about all the toilet paper and toothpaste. i can't even have TP out, it's hidden in a cabinet next to the toilet and winnie leaves vampire bites in toothpaste tubes if you leave them on the counter, even her kitten toothpaste in the metal tube, she bit through it :bummed: and she chews open bags of litter (she can even do it if the bag is still in a cardboard box, she chews through the cardboard to get to the bag of litter!) and digs with her paws to throw the litter on the floor &amp; roll in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025150 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:47:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2025150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few baseboards that we fixed so hopefuly he leaves them alone. He eats underwear and baby socks all the time. Like sees it. Swallows it. Poops it out. Grrrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025144 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:45:27 +0000 MrsSCB 2025144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, SO MANY THINGS. We have three cats, and they are destructive, particularly one of them. They've destroyed the arms of the couch (I drape pretty blankets over them now to disguise), they scratch the dining chairs, too, but luckily we bought cheap ones at Target so I don't really care too much. They scratch our bedside tables (Ikea, so again, don't care). We've definitely started considering how scratchable things are before we buy them now that we're starting to purchase nicer, non-Ikea furniture. For example, we bought a really nice dining table from Restoration Hardware and made sure to buy one with metal legs. I've already given up on our security deposit, though, haha. Luckily it was small... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025128 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:39:18 +0000 cranberry 2025128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She destroyed the bottom of my mom's kitchen cabinets and the corner of my basement stairs when she was less than a year old. During the past 4 years, I think she's only destroyed a scarf, a dishtowel (which had food on it), and a wooden box I bought back from Costa Rica for my daughter. The last one was just last month, after having not destroyed anything for 2+ years. I'm assuming she thought it was a toy since it was wood? I think I might be able to glue it- the lid is just in three pieces with a few teeth marks. I was not happy about that. Overall she is a good dog though and, before this, she had never mixed LO's toys up with her own even though they are often all over the floor and look very similar to her dog toys (stuffed animals, squeaky plastic things). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025111 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:32:22 +0000 .twist. 2025111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything. Terrors of night and day. Between the two of them (dog and cat) they destroy everything. Intentionally or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025110 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:30:16 +0000 MediaNaranja 2025110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog only destroys his toys, thankfully, but he does have a bad habit of marking things inside the house :( If anything is out of place, he WILL pee on it. Good thing he's cute and sweet as can be!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025085 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:21:24 +0000 travellingbee 2025085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dog ate shoes as a puppy. Several of my favorite heels :( And he has destroyed our leather couch by only sitting on the same spot day after day for years and the leather cracked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025083 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:21:11 +0000 ElbieKay 2025083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: It's all scratched up now!</p> <p>Ironically, our other cat, Zhukov, is the one with razor sharp claws (which he won't let us trim). He doesn't really damage any objects but he scratches me somewhat regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025077 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:19:47 +0000 autumnlove 2025077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I love the hamper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025068 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 10:17:01 +0000 ElbieKay 2025068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My beloved elephant hamper in the nursery is ruined!

At our home, he's only destroyed my ipod and chewed a remote control a little (it still worked). At my parents house, he destroyed a remote control and a car clicky thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025017 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:55:23 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2025017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we first got my little cat, she would eat random socks and clothes and stuff and steal our food right off our plates. But she finally calmed down after a couple months and besides that, the two of them haven't ruined anything. We trained them not to scratch furniture or rugs and they've neverr gone to the bathroom outside the litterbox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025008 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:49:39 +0000 LBee 2025008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The question should be what has your pet NOT ruined. I love them more than anything, but they are two 80 pound tornadoes. They are lucky they are so cute. </p> <p>Most recently, the oldest got a stomach bug and decided to relieve herself in the nursery. Everything was gifted and/or hand me downs, EXCEPT for the rug. Said rug is now ruined. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025007 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:48:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 2025007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep our dogs in an indoor pen (so lovingly called "the cage") because they destroy things when unattended. Usually they go through the trash but once one dog bit through the cord of a brand new pair of Grado headphones ($90). But even in the pen they wreak havoc. We just went away for the weekend and they've been pooping in their cage in protest ever since. Yesterday we came home and they had pooped in their food and water bowls. Ugh!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2025004 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:46:19 +0000 nana87 2025004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, so much! Our younger dog loves board books so tons of lo's books have bites taken out of them, and both dogs love leather shoe laces so many pairs of shoes have been targeted if they're left out. Our older dog chewed a hole in a couch and a wall when he was a puppy... The list goes on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2024993 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:39:11 +0000 mediagirl 2024993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our old dog ruined our carpet by soiling it. The other dog ruined couch legs by chewing on them. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2024959 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:25:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 2024959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The carpet, she seems to think a certain room is her litter box...we didn't know since it was never used (guest room) until we turned it into the nursery, I bawled when I saw the spots. We cleaned it and now have to keep her out of it. </p> <p>She's also eaten more underwear and socks than any small 12 pound dog should eat, we are amazed she hasn't had digestion issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-stuff-has-your-pet-ruined-around-your-house#post-2024955 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:22:13 +0000 avivoca 2024955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The carpet!
