Puppies love to chew! In fact, with such a young palate, it's great to sample as many tastes and textures as possible. Sam must be a puppy because he's been trying to get as much experience as possible at his new home!
Let's see - he keeps steeling the horse brushes. One has a wood handle and the other plastic and both are chewed on the ends. Then there's Doc's feeding bucket that sits over the bar of the fence. He might have an
accomplice though, because one of our guest horses, Tutu, bites and lifts her trough out of its base often, and I've seen her lift Doc's feeder off the fence. At any rate, it's been in the back yard 3 times and is pretty chewed. He sleeps on a brand new U-Haul blanket,
but it has several chewed holes in it now and it's been dragged out into the yard a number of times. He also robs from the mesquite wood pile nightly and I find firewood scattered around the yard. He chewed the handle off his leash. His toys are in various states of destruction.
A couple of days ago I gave him some Alpo (wet) as a treat in one of Sheba's travel dishes and here is the results! The food was gone, but so was the dish! I thought of having a contest ... into how many pieces did Sam chew Sheba's dish????

my guess is 64
We dog-sat a border collie in NM and made the mistake of leaving him in the backyard for too long. He chewed a dog bed completely to shreds, a flower pot, a plastic shovel and a beer can! How he managed the beer can without tearing up his gums is beyond me. Anyway, it must be in the breed.

Though I have found 9 more pieces of the bowl, the number pictured is 104 making a total of 113!! Pam, I forgot to include the flower pot, the cover to the horse feed container and the pink (red) item in the picture is a piece for the mulching mower! I'm hoping he outgrows this stage - hope it's not a 'border collie thing'!!!
