Gracie has had the same "problem" since she was a puppy. We had to puppy proof the whole place because she would also steal out of waste baskets, purses, closets, etc. I used to always be so fearful that she would choke on something she found. Oh, and she would get up on the furniture and search the end tables and coffee table for things she might want.
She doesn't chew as much as she used to but certain things like the elastic scrunchies that my daughter uses on her hair she just loves to bite apart. Once she has bit through it she is done with it. She also loves to steal tissues. If a scrunchie gets left on the bathroom vanity, one of the cats will play with it and knock it on the floor so Gracie then grabs it and does her thing. I often wonder if the cats are trying to do her in.
