  • maybe if it wouldve been in a leather case this phone chewing would make sense….it is so weird, he never bothered my old one....wonder what it was about this one he liked so much?
    lvoss, what did your phone company say?

  • Do you have the insurance on your phone? I know that I have washed a cell phone, drop one out of my Jeep while driving (it was a Wrangler and the windows were off, it slid off of the dashboard, very slow motion when it happened), my hubby has dropped one in the toilet, etc and we had the insurance and only had to pay $50 to replace it.

    Maybe Fender wants his own phone and that is his way of telling you he would like one that isn't a flip phone so it would be eaiser for him to use. :D

    I unknowingly dropped my phone in a parking lot, drove over it, and didn't realized where I had lost it for two days:eek: I went back, when I realized, and there it was! It actually lasted for another year!

  • @Ambered:

    4 day old cell phone. :( i wonder what verizon will say when i bring this in?
    and those cute little indentations you see are teeth marks!

    i remember when i met fender mary k said "this has been the least chewing litter i have ever had".

    what a joke!

    Oh dear! :D

  • I have insurance on my phone so when I called to request the replacement they asked why. When I told them my dog chewed it, they asked, "Is the dog alright?" and were glad to hear that she was.

  • Aw, c'mon, Ambered, cut him a little slack! He was only trying to call in a pizza order and save you from having to make dinner! He just got a little too…ummmm...enthusiastic! :D

  • Maybe he was trying to call you and invite you over to his party but his paws were still practicing to get the right number. You know, there may have been that wonderful smell of those fingers on that handi - and he just wanted to savor the taste of those things that smell like you…

  • no cellphone eating here, but hes terrified of the beeps my themometor makes…WEIRD

  • About a week after bringing Giz home, my cell phone got some decorative teeth marks, too. Giz had gotten the cordless phone, my cell, our tv remote, our dvd remote, our surround sound remote and our son's remote all down from various areas of the house and had them lined up on the floor like a doggie buffet, just deciding which one to destroy first. Luckily our son caught him and saved everything from certian electronic death. :)

  • Cell Phones, Remotes, Reading Glasses, Remote Car Keys, etc. etc. etc….all tasty treats for a CHEWY B :D :D :D

    Great article thanks!!! Will look into other books by Bradshaw. I have since finished it and thought it was great. There's some basenji info in there'd too. I pretty much agree with everything he says… And I though it was very entertaining!!

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    The only sweat glands on a dog are on the feet. They keep their foot pads supple, but also sent mark the trail. I actually like the way goober smells. Probably because I grew up with a dish called Frito and Chili pie. My old dog Missy had the standard stinky dog smell which I wasn't too fond of, but I didn't hate it enough to give her a bath more than once a month. I wonder if th

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
