It would have saved my kitchen molding, cabinets & walls, which they destroyed.. along with their beds, harnesses, leashes, my shoes, socks, pants, bras, underwear, laptop cord & keyboard (), legs on furniture, chapticks, peepads, tupperware... the list goes on & on.

Put her in an Xpen when you are not watching her. So she can't get to your cabinets, walls & molding at least. I bought cheap beds and toys for those months, and learned to shut my closet doors and blame myself when they chewed up something. Bully sticks came in handy to focus them on something they were allowed to chew.

My boys are 8 years old now and every once in awhile, they go on a tear and chew up DH's socks or underwear, or my pants or rummage through the trash for tissues and such! Gross!!! But they have gotten much much better!
She will be 10 months old on the 16th of this month...She seems to have all her adult teeth now....I guess the chewing came in handy since she lost all of her baby teeth and I didn't have to get any removed...LOL. In my family room, my babies have a toy basket full of different types of toys but she rather have everything that shes not supposed to have. I think that Im going to try the bully sticks...she seems to prefer things that are on the hard side rather than the rubbery side like the Kongs. Im really hoping that she will grow out of it....i came into a couple of close calls with my kids (12 ,9) leaving their stuff out. I swear my other 2 Chihuahuas never did that at all...I think they were to scared and hesitant of things they would not even attempt it however this little terror is a whole different story...
