to think that if you leave your sodding shoes on the bloody kitchen floor, eventually the dog will eat them.....

[AtYourCervix]

And it will be your own stupid fault.

Twat.

YANBU, things on the floor are fair game.

Bit harsh... I don't even have a dog

I would however expect them to be full of crumbs and random dropped food items.

Let me guess, he constantly leaves his shoes out despite knowing you have a chewy dog. But when said dogs chews said shoes, it is YOUR fault?

How old is the dog?

Dogs can be trained not to chew.

Also, bored dogs are destructive dogs. Does he have alternative and fun chew toys?

and pens and lighters, and your food for christsake, in reach, dont leave it, you will lose it!

and your swimming goggles

Of course it's my fault.

Because after being caged all night I left him out when i went to work.

I did prod a teenager to get up to waych the dog.

But still my fault.

Twat.

Dog is 18 months and has a mouth just the right size to destroy a birkenstock within seconds.

So how exactly do I stop said dog chewing?

How???????

How????????????

He has toys.

He has a kong

He has an antler.

But birkenstocks taste better.

Dogs will eat the following when left in ground floor rooms in those house: shoes, toys, pens, cushions, bags, sunglasses, tv remotes. All of these items must be removed immediately to places of safety.

They don't smell of me because my shoes are on the shoe shelf behind a closed door WHERE THEY BLOODY WELL BELONG

The chewed birkenstock smells and tastes of Stupid Man.

and lap top cables, very chewy. as chewed twice

i would plant the dog on top of the teenager

Slightly different but on hols last week I left my Birkenstocks in the- awning and the bloody fox sneaked in and ate 2 pairs!!!!

All I found was one chewed sandal in the field

are you sure it was a fox? not atyourcervix dog?

I awoke from a drunken stupor deep sleep camping the other day, and couldn't find my birkenstocks! I was devastated....they were under the car

Otherwise, yes, stupid mans fault entirely.

Ooh 18 months is still a puppy really.

dog chewing

YANBU, obviously

And Birkenstocks smell of leather, with makes them potentially food.

Just like my new sandals that I put away in my bedroom because the puppy was on the prowl for things to chews free ranging. DH opened the bloody patio doors - after I closed the bedroom door FFS- and was baffled at how the dog could have gone out the the open back door, across the garden and into the bedroom through the open patio doors and acquired my new sandals. Baffled, I tell ya!

riding boots, gloves, wellies, socks, knickers, telephone/laptop/printer cables x 100, phones, passport x 2, table legs, chair legs, the list is endless. I am never ever, ever, ever again getting a puppy. It's old dogs for me from now - I think finally our chewing days are over and the youngest of our lot is 2 next month. Bloody dogs. Good job we luffs them.

That link is stating the bleeding obvious. Our puppy chewed anything wooden and no, we couldn't remove all the furniture every time we went out. He gave it up eventually but everything still has little tooth holes.

My dog is 6 and while he'd go "meh" at a shoe, he'd sell his soul for a pen or pencil.
