| Nothing is Safe! No, Rocky, NO! I am sitting here typing with my glasses tilted askew on my face, bite marks across the self-tinting coating, chewed earpieces, missing rhinestones on the little dragon fly designs on the sides, and a tiny metal piece between the hinges missing entirely. These were very expensive glasses with Coach frames, left on the lamp table beside my chaise while I napped a little yesterday. I have read and commensurate with the threads on chewed cords, pencils, and shoes. I don't have a flip flop in the house without teeth marks. I had to replace the headset of my son's Xbox 360 after Rocky made it his own. These are not things left on the floor either. Rocky is a mountain coat/monkey/wild man! He can climb into my arms when I am standing, right up my leg! So, nothing is safe from him. He is also treacherous beyond measure. He can dart through a room and have picked up 2-3 items along the way that you never saw him take. He can have a tissue or paper napkin shredded into lint within 2 minutes flat! He loves to unroll the toliet tissue and actually dances with the end if he can get it out the bathroom door without tearing. I have to follow him everywhere. Thankfully, when he is not being a little ornery-butt, he is glued to me. So, when he does disappear for a minute, I am tracking him down to see what he is chewing up. I know there are no answers (beyond confinement) -- it is a phase, a rite of passage all yorkie owners have to go through. But I will tell you some are just a dozen times worse than others about this chewing thing! Ben was a chewer but not this bad. Sadie rarely chewed up anything. She was always a little lady and rarely misbehaved at all. Rocky -- he is like the spoiled youngest child. Getting away with way too much. I am going to have to get better at hiding my grins when I am sounding stern! Rocky! NO!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Cute... Very cute and funny story! Well, not so funny about the expensive glasses, headset and the flip flops (sorry) but I can picture the little stinker doing all this as I've seen it all before I'm guessing you kept a pup from your litter. That's awesome. For some strange reason, I tend to favor the naughty ones...They keep life interesting and keep you on your toes...

| very funny story (to me) but I'm sure not to you. Baxter has done all the same things, and man can they run fast! If he is sure I am after him, he takes off like a shot and can swallow whatever it is in a second! But today I am so proud of my little "garbage gut". I was cooking and totally forgot about the dogs. Yea right! how do you forget what you are tripping over lol. Well anyways, I boiled some chicken, and put it on the plate, on the chair, infront of the fan to cool!!! Yes I know, dumb dumb dumb. On the chair can you imagine! Well here comes Baxter and now all he is doing is crying. I'm doing things on the other side of the kitchen, and just tell him to stop crying. Then I look over, and here is Bax, with his head right there at the chair, crying and looking at me, like he is saying. Mom, can I pleasssssse have a piece of this chicken? He never touched it or anything. I am so proud of him today... Hopefully Rocky will get there, he is still just a baby right? And they think that anything in their reach, be it on the table or not. If they can reach it it is theirs. lol All you can do is keep loving them.

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | I know you are secretly grinning after your little rascal. Tia has only attacked the wallpaper and that was once when she was a very young puppy.Im lucky I guess as I lcan leave anything lying around and do, slippers, magazines ect and she just doesn't touch anything. Loved your story though.

| At least it's due to him being a puppy. You just described my Yorkie right there, he is almost 2 years old.

YT 500 Club Member | I truley sympatise, last Thursday the newspaper slipped from the chair, 5 minutes later my two had turned it to confetti. Getting better at staying from under my feet while cooking though as I'm teaching them to stay on the mat by the door. It works in short bursts. But anything that hits the floor is still fair game. |

| Gee, Debra maybe I could send you what's left of my glasses, and together we could have a whole pair. lol I can laugh now because it's been a while since I replaced mine. I'm lucky that Pippin doesn't chew the woodwork. My last dog, a lab, gnawed the window sills, and my grandfather clock. I can't tell you how many times we had to replace the wires to the surround sound speakers. They are lucky we love them so much. |

| Ahhhh carpet. You reminded me about moving into our house a year ago and had new carpet installed. We had been in the house a couple of months, and I went out front to work in the flower beds. I don't let them come out front without being on a leash, so I left them in the house, uncaged, because I wasn't going to be out there long. I came back in and found a pile of carpet threads. Pippin had tried to dig his way out to be with me. I learned my lesson the hard way. |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | When I had Mikey here he literally destroyed 4 pairs of my shoes. No matter that I found a shoe rack to put them on that would keep them off the floor, that little s**t always managed to find new shoes to attack. He even managed to knock the garbage can over and spread everything around. You know, you gotta luv em!
