My dog ate my….

  • Mine have chewed 2 of my cell phones. Rio is attracted to flashing lights that go off when it rings.

  • 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!

    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…

    BaMica.

  • 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

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    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

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    That is a great idea, but it should be an adolescent for sure (seems to be the most trying stage). My mom also really liked our dog (the look, the no bark, typical things most people like) and she quickly changed her ideas. We were telling her about the time we had to babysit another dog and the things she did to let us know that she did not like another dog in our house (she did some very naughty things)! My mom said 'wow she is really a manipulating dog'. I said, yeah they are definately not a breed for everyone.
