None of mine really chew anything. Although Taz does eat old tea-bags if they are left on the side of the sink! rolleyes.gif

chip: the lino on the kitchen floor in our rented house in wales which we were not allowed a dog in. ooops! (took me over 4 hours to lay new lino before we moved out, but tee hee they didnt notice!!!!)
i have lost count of the pens/pencils/bits of paper/post
steals shoes but doesnt chew them.

mickey: a seatbelt in the range rover, a chunk out of my favorite winter hat and a chunk out of my north face down jacket! tends to just require something in his mouth at all times but doesnt usually chew stuff.

looking at the list i think im doing quite well.

Door
Ripped a big hole in the lino in the kitchen
ripped loads of clothes!

not too bad other than that, just need to make sure there is something for him to chew, if he finds anything on the floor thats new it pretty much ends up in his gob!

Not a springer but in his first 6 or 7 months my younger wocker Alfie ate the backs of the legs of all our kitchen chairs, two big chunks of skirting board, all the plants in the back garden and a couple of small chunks off the edge of the decking, the temporary fence we put up to stop him digging holes in the garden, several books including my signed David Attenborough autobiography, a suede photo frame and the photo in it and the matching suede trinket box, two cushions, five, yes, five dog beds and worst of all the legs of my £185 Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses... I could have killed him for that one! mad.gif cool.gif He also scratched two big holes in the plaster in the wall between the kitchen and the living room, I think he was trying to make himself a serving hatch. Not bad for a dog who was very seldom left alone rolleyes.gif

He's now 15 months and thankfully hasn't chewed anything he shouldn't for a long time. Tilly, my 2 and a half year old rescue girl was 2 when I got her so well out of the chewing stage.

My good little Springer boy Scampi has only ever chewed up a Christmas card that arrived in the post. My Labrador on the other hand.....

Mobile phone
share certificate
little plastic caps from the radiators
tea towels
new shoes
old boots
hubbys glasses (christmas day)
books
shrubs in the garden
plastic plant pots

I'm sure there is more, but I've just forgotten biggrin.gif

Looking at all these lists on here I think we have been really lucky with Holly she chewed one of my really comfy m & s shoes and had a little go at a chair leg and that was it really. smile.gif

I'm feeling a little smug - my two only chew their own toys.

The smugness wears off though when I think about the rest of their behavious, not chewing is about the only thing they do right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Add Home telephone to my list now after being left 6 1/2 hours for proballey the first time we guess the phone kept ringing so he had to shut it up by chewing it rolleyes.gif

Before my Welshie, I had Flat Coated Retrievers, and they didn't chew anything but their toys and wooden sticks.Therefore I wasn't prepared for Rhian, who would steal and chew everything! blink.gif

She has chewed:
a heap of socks and underwear
shoes
some bills
sundry newspapers
one or two books
pyjamas
carpets
doorframe
speaker cable from stereo
three dogbeds
one plastic drinking bowl (she ate it completely ohmy.gif )
two leads and a harness
uncounted paper tissues
bathroom sponges
most of her toys

Fortunately it's almost stopped now - as long as I don't leave any socks around. She can't resist those.... wink.gif

I had my sweet Casey cremated. His ashes were in a plastic container on my nightstand as I had not decided on a permanent container. Shortly after Casey passed, I took on three rescue springers (insanity reigns supreme) and one night I heard a rustling in the bedroom. I turned on the light to find one chewing the top off the container and the other two were licking up the ashes off the floor. I was mortified at first that beloved Casey's ashes were disrespected, but had to laugh at myself scooping up what was left at 3am laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif Only in my house!!! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

They are now one with Casey laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Oh dear ohmy.gif Well it adds a whole new dimension scattering the ashes I guess laugh.gif

Bilbo hasn't been too bad on the whole but recently went into my dad's bedroom unbeknown to me whilst I was visiting them a ransacked a box of medical equipment (I will preserve my dad's dignity by not going into detail) ohmy.gif No harm done to Bilbo but nurse had to bin it all as it was no longer sterile. Its now kept on top of the wardrobe.

I thought we were the only one's to have a sock thief!!!! If there are any slightly on show anywhere Harvey will have them!! Nicks them from everywhere, even off your feet while you have them on!! So funny, he sometimes tries to sneak off with one or other times runs round the house throwing it around!! We are quite lucky in the fact that he hasn't really chewed up that much atall.
One phone charger.
Bit of wood by the stairs.
have saved the odd shoe/ flip flop, which would have been chewed i think!! He can only have kongs though as anything else doesn't last 5 mins!! biggrin.gif
