When my house dog died a few years ago, I swore I would never have another dog in the house. Well you know they say about never say never. I got a puppy a few weeks ago, and I swear one puppy is more destructive and messier than a dozen cats! She is the equivalent of about 14 toddlers. I don't even know where she finds the stuff she finds to tear up. I just know nothing is safe! She has all kinds of dog appropriate things to chew on, but she is more content to chew up any cord she can find, especially those belong to electronics and appliances.
