| Am I the only one!!! Am I the only one who comes home to a household of ripped up paper, tissue, toilet paper, reciepts, instructions, owners manuals, business cards, and whatever else they can get their gritty little mits on I swear my DH must hide these things because I always am getting on him for leaving papers around.. And to top their paper fetish off , they now have mastered climbing on top of the couch and doing a James Bond manuever onto the computer desk.. free papers for the taking!!!!! I came home today at lunch and a whole roll of toilet paper was shredded into a million little pieces under the computer desk and my husbands plastic cup was tipped over water everywhere and the straw was chewed on... it funny... sometimes.. but this is getting rediculous.. i was running short for time so I picked all of it up I could.. I am gonna have to vacuum when I get home

| Oh my goodness... sounds like they have fun when you're gone!! Fortunately, Couver does not chew anything but pens and markers. I just have to make sure not to have any of these within his reach.

| chewing paper Belle loves paper, any kind of paper. My DH leaves his magazines down and it is so fun for her to start on one of those. Once in a while she'll come running out of the bathroom with a long stream of toilet paper following her. It's hard not to laugh sometimes because she knows she's being naughty. When I finally get close to her, she jumps up on the couch and sticks her head down between the cushions to hide leaving her little butt sticking up. I had a hard time trying to figure out where she was getting a book once in a while. We got a new couch and I didn't realize the back of it was so close to the book shelf. Belle was eating a book called "NO Bad Dogs" My Minature Schnauzer was the same way with paper. I think Belle does it because it's fun and she knows I'll probably chase her and she loves that. |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | My Misty is a Princess with a capital P. She would never do something like that. Now Cassie, the Maltese, she has stolen a roll of toilet and run through the house, she's eaten magazines, she's my problem child. And they look and act so innocent. Monsters!

| Josh is a good and sweet boy. He loves to chew toilet paper and tissue. I am teaching him not to play with the toilet paper and tissue. He is getting better at not chewing those items. |

| I am so fortunate that Missy doesn't do this. Hoping little Dora doesn't pick up that habit *knock on wood*

| What I enjoy and find funny about when that happens is when they come running to you acting like they did nothing wrong, yet the evidence is stuck in their beards. Priceless. |

| We ALWAYS keep the bathroom door closed or they would be getting the TP for sure! They all like to shred paper, tissue, etc... Crosley has a thing for shoe inserts! She rips them out of any shoes she gets a hold of! She also has a thing for the remote control for the tv, I think it's because she doesn't want us to watch tv! Years ago, when I had my American Eskimo and he was a puppy. We came home and he had shredded 2/3 of the yellow pages, it looked like we had yellow carpet! Plus he had a whole roll of TP winding throughout the entire apartment!

| My three little rulers of all they survey, are quite selective in the paper that they chew and shred! When we were trucking they never once chewed or shredded a bill of lading, even when I left it on the floor, but every other piece of paper or tissue was fair game. I don't know how they could tell the difference between papers. More than once, I returned to a cab full of shredded paper and three very proud fur kids, and the only whole piece of paper in the truck were the bills of lading. Now we are off the highway, Sugar Princess, the Lhasa Apso, has not met a trash can that she can't conquer. She can even open a step-on can by herself. If I leave the trash can in her reach when I go out, or she is feeling ignored, Sugar heads straight to the trash can. At 15 yrs old she is still quick as wink. I can't make it across the room before she has the trash can open and is making a good start on spreading it around. Considering that it is maybe only 10 steps across the room, she isn't slowing down any. I have scolded her to no avail. She just looks at me as if to say, "This is your punishment, Mommy." Sugar is the most stubborn and self-willed fur kid I have ever come across. Unfortunately she is doing a good job of teaching the much younger Yorkies, (4 and 5 yrs) how to be little brats!

| Lucy, age 4 months, loves to chew paper of any kind. I work at home and would love to have her upstairs in my office with me - but she can't resist the files lying on the floor. She's eaten up business letters; folders, etc. When I pay bills (online); I throw my discards (envelopes and such) on the floor and clean up when I am done. She is in heaven when I do this and they are strewn all across the house by the time I'm ready to clean up! |

| Toby was notorious for shredding anything resembling paper when he was younger, but then one day he just stopped. I'm hoping for the same with Lola but not optimistic. She's part goat, I swear. She will chew on anything, including wood furniture if given the chance. We came home Saturday to find she had unwrapped one of the presents under the Christmas tree. Now we keep the pen around it - something I NEVER did with my skinkids!!

| TP is the only thing Sandy will shred. We place the newspapers on the floor to potty train him. So far, he hasn't/doesn't do anything to those paper. I hope he won't! |

| Yorkie's and paper just go hand and hand. Yes, I do believe most have a fetish for paper. Buddy loves, loves, kleenex! He knows how to go into every pocket I own, coats, bathrobes, sweats, etc and take it out then run like the wind to get away. LOL He's faster than a speeding bullet in the process and has it in his mouth before I am even aware he has it! |
