Exhibit DDD: Blanket, Pillow, Pillow Case

The dogs have been chewing on these. They bite into the pillow, pillow cases and blanket while sleeping. They make these into their pacifiers.

When I catch them, I save it from being ruined. But sometimes, I wake up in the morning and it's already like this.

We have long resigned to the fact that the house will never be perfect as long as we have the dogs. I'm fine with that, but it also means we cannot have pretty things or expensive things.

Or if we do have those, they must not be left out in the open. The dogs are sure going to get to it.

It's a lesson in being responsible, especially for our teenager, who has to learn to take care of his stuff.

Exhibit DDD: Newspaper/Magazine Rack

Remember this?

I posted this photo the other day.

It did not survive the attack this morning.

Please join me in a moment of silence.

MAGAZINE/NEWSPAPER RACK

Born: Some 3-4 years ago

Died: March 1, 2011

Cause of Death: Ripping and Sharp Bite Marks by over-eager dogs

Exhibit DDD for "DOGS DESTROYED DIS"!

Most dogs love to get into stuff they're not supposed to be playing or eating. Jack Russell Terriers do all of those things. And worse.

I can't tell you how many slippers I've had since the pups were born (July 2010). I stopped counting on my 8th pair. And that's just mine. They also ate my son's slippers, the hubby's slippers, the hubby's friend's slippers (which we had to replace, bummer!).

I can't tell you how many of my bags they tried gnawing. Or how many soiled clothes they took from the hamper to play with, leaving holes in them. Or how many of our son's school socks the dogs took from his basket, thinking these are balls.

You get the picture.

Everyday is always a discovery.

If you're visiting our house, you've got to watch out for this army of destroyers. Please don't come wearing something expensive. We will not be liable for the damages (haha!).

These are just some of what I found destroyed today:

The lounge bed in our living room.

Newspaper rack.

Rag. This is rag #1005. They keep playing with rags.

There's going to be more, that's for sure. Which is why I'm particularly dedicating an Exhibit DDD category for this blog.
