Austin's Mom
Boxer Insane
I would say the strangest thing Austin tries to eat is my nose! He's always nibbling on it. You'd think by now he'd realize it doesn't come off!

Coco'smommy
Boxer Insane
When Coco was around 3 mos old, we had tried leaving her in the kitchen with gates..NOT! She got out one day and ate a whole basket of dried flowers, all that was left were bits & pieces of the plastic stems. She also got under the bed and decided to read my DH's..uh hem....magazines. After that, she was in a crate and thankfully we haven't had really any trouble with that since. I hope I haven't just jinxed myself..

Wow- this threat doesn't make me feel so bad! Luka is in his crate today, because he's been pretty destructive over the last two days. The first day, he chewed up this wooden polynesian idol looking thing that my mom bought as decoration for my wedding party (hawaian theme). I had straw and wood all over the front room, hallway and dinning room. It took me a 1/2 hr to clean it up (he also pottied on a throw rag rug I've had for 12 years and on a goose down comforter).
The next day, I was sick and stayed home. The day after, I thought, I'll gove him one more shot. He tore up a whole box of kleenex and knocked over my money tree. He spred all the moss in the pot all over the house. :mad:
I he also swollowed a knee high nylon stocking that took him 5 days to cough up!
(I don't even OWN any!!!)

wood
Siren has a serious wood problem. It started with the apple tree, which has since been removed from the backyard. She then moved on to the decorative wood trim around the tree in the center of the yard, eating each of the little pieces one by one until we pulled them out and put them in the garage to use when she's older. Then she decided that all the nice new lattice work that my hubs and Dad worked one day putting around the perimeter of the deck...yeah - she ate all that. Piece by piece she made tiny little toothpicks. When she finished that she tried chewing on the deck itself, but the wood must not have tasted all that good. Next was the SIDING on the house. That one was the straw on the camels back for my husband - he was PISSED. I found a way to solve that problem though...a little miracle worker called McNasty's (for cribbing). Since the house didn't taste so good anymore, she moved onto the pickets of the fence. Some of them she flat out shredded, some of them she just chewed holes in. On one side of us we have 2 little boys and one the other side is an old irish setter that she is fascinated with. We thought she'd slowed down because she's only been working on finishing the latticework she started.....until we came home one day and found pink insulation all over the backyard...and when we went out - in the snow were large chunks of sheetrock. What was she eating you ask? HER DOGHOUSE. She apparently felt the need to do some redecorating and took out an entire wall in her lavish doghouse (it's built onto our house, has a heater, window, hallway, etc...
As for anything in the house - nothing. I know better than to trust her alone. Although, a funny story from tonight...I was in a downstairs room finishing painting the trim in that room, and I had taken all the painters tape off the portions that I'd finished the other day (including the ceiling). I had it all bunched up in a pile in the middle of the room, and my back to the door. Every once in a while I'd hear some tags jingle....but no one would come kiss me or answer me when I said Hi. The jingling tags became more frequent. Well, one time I decided to hide behind the dresser and see Siren sneak in, look for me, and when she doesn't see me - she grabs a wad of painters tape and lays down with it to chew. I poke my head out and don't say a word. Her eyes almost bugged out of her head.....and she got up and ran. I didn't say a word. I followed her up the stairs (where my husband was) and found a good sized pile of tape at the tops of the stairs. As I've entered rooms since then (i.e. bathroom, kitchen, laundry room) I've found a little bit of tape. I don't know if she was saving it for later, or if she felt like redecorating again, but THAT was funny. Much more entertaining than painting anyway! What a pest my boxer is....

Well it sure makes me feel better when I read about the things your babies have eaten... My Zoe has eaten two beds from her crate and is working on the 3rd. She loves fabric softner sheets.... plays with them for hours if you let her ...or if you don't (she stashes them under the couch so when we are not looking she can go get one) We always know she has them stashed when she comes to give you a kiss and she smells like a spring meadow..!! She eats the sides of her plastic toy box and has even gotten the grout from the sides of my bathtub...i have no idea how she was able to do that one. I hope that I never have to add to this list but being that she is under a year I think i may be a dreamer..!!
Thanks for the laugh!!

Must say when I read this thread I feel a bit releaved, I thought Buster was the only door chewing dog... He has destroyed two of our doors by scratching and chewing them. Today he was left in our puppy secured bedroom and unfortunally I forgot to take one plant out of the window and when we came back it was ALL over the room, in the bed, under the bed, on the walls and around some Busters nose........ Just have to laught, it´s my own fault....

Maddie once countersurfed and ate an ENTIRE bag of X-TRA BUTTER un-popped popcorn.
Let's just say I learned two things:
(A) not to put anything on the counters within reach
(B) un-popped popcorn comes out the same way it went in.
My husband swears we could have re-popped it
Blech..

What has my Boxer Done?
Oh my, where do I start? We have always crated our babies. But this one day, I had this bright idea to leave them out to see how they would do......needless to say, when we came home from work, there was a 10lb bag of potatoes shredded in the living room. There "was" a "bald" corn plant laying on the living room floor next to the potatotes. Our clean laundry was scattered all over the floor. Bar soap (from the bathroom) was missing and still is, (I'm sure they ate it). That's just some of the stuff they have destroyed. Luckily it's never been furniture or carpeting. Gotta love them boxers!!

I think I've been pretty lucky compared to others that had posted. I also felt a little guilty crating Jasmine and Hailey all day. One night I decided to put them in the laundry room and put the gate up. DH and I was gone for a couple hours and in the meantime Jasmine (I presume) ate the cord plugged into the dustbuster and another cord that went to something else. I think she also grabbed a few things off the top of the washer and dryer. Again, I tried them in the laundry room, but this time I unplugged everything. Well I left the red wall anchor in the wall that held the dustbuster and Jasmine (I'm convinced) had tried so hard to get the anchor out of the wall that she tore up an 8" x 5" area of sheetrock. I still haven't gotten it fully repaired.
Every once in a while I'd step out for a few minutes to talk to the neighbors. I guess Jasmine got mad and she'd tear up the rug at the front door and the area rug. I think Jasmine has also chewed her crate mat, 2 wicker trivets (counter surfing days), and got ahold of the remote and phone once.
Hailey was a little older when we acquired her so she had only destroyed a couple plastic bags and a cheap pair of wal-mart sandles.

Peja has gotten into alot. He loves crayons, Bratz dolls, My little ponies,soap, paper, diapers, trash. My son had saved his allowance and bday $ to buy himself a gameboy advance and left it on the floor. Peja chewed that up some but we caught him so there are only a few teeth marks in it. He got into a bag of soil and scattered it over the enire garage and once ate a whole tray of uncooked enchiladas I had left on the counter while the oven was preheating then threw them back up all over the carpet. He's lucky I love him so much. Luckily, Meadow has not gotten into anything YET!!!
