sometime last night, my freaking dogs chewed up the strap on my Dooney & Bourke purse i hate it when shit like this happens... and yes, i know, had i just picked it up off the floor, this wouldnt have happened

great, now, can i buy new straps i wonder ? i mean, shit, this was quite an expensive purse ..... i cant believe its ruined

nakedpianoplayer said:

your dog was telling you to renounce your material possesions and find peace like he (she?) has.

Or maybe your dog was trying to tell you to pick up your expensive purse off the floor.

Or maybe he was just being a dog and the leather felt good in his mouth.

I love animals but I am sorry about your purse.

nakedpianoplayer said:

I love how you call your bag your purse ,it's so American (i know you are American!) don't kill your poor doggie

JasmineFire said:

yeah, i love the lil fuzz butts myself... what would life be like without them ????

i actually just forgot about the love of leather and dogs last night when i fell asleep, i woke up to the mess this morning


but, hey, afterall, its just a purse.... right ?????


i am feeling a LITTLE better... searched all through ebay, and found my exact purse there... if i only knew how to use ebay i'd buy it just for the strap and switch it out

thats the lovely treat my puppies had last night while i was in dreamland

Feed them dark chocolate.

I hear their livers can't process one of the chemicals in chocolate and it kills them relatively quickly.








NO, I"M NOT SUGGESTING YOU ACTUALLY DO THAT!

GOOD !

cuz thats just mean

Uzie once chewed up a down comforter. There was down ALL OVER my apartment.

Ollie once chewed through a packet of BLACK clothing dye. My mom called me at work, crying while she was scrubbing the wall and floor.

Shoes, remote control, table lamp (!), ballpen, chair legs...the list goes on, why do we love our dogs so much?

Teacher said:

it is absolutely amazing what they will eat...

while i was packing, my dogs at two of my cookbooks the big, nice ones ???? they tore the cover all to hell on my floor


but a TABLE LAMP ?????


thats a big ass dog you got there !!!

which is why i am more partial to cats

cborgman said:

yeah, but cats pee on stuff you like when you make them mad


cant tell ya how many things i have had to throw away because of some hissy fit my cat threw

cuz, nothing, and i do mean NOTHING takes out the smell of cat pee

nakedpianoplayer said:

The dogs thought they were books on how to cook dogs I bet

Yes he was big I miss him so much

nakedpianoplayer said:

Teacher said:

nakedpianoplayer said:

i've never had a cat do that... but then, my cats have alwyas been pretty mellow and rarely have reason to be mad.

oh, no, wait... my most beloved cat, homer wells, did get mad at me once and exact revenge.

i let his litter box get a little too full, and brought home a bag of new litter but was too tired to change it and went to sleep.

i woke up the next morning and he had opened the bag onto the floor and used the fresh stuff.

nakedpianoplayer said:

Her name is Uzie, like the gun

cborgman said:

Yep, that's a cat for you.

cborgman said:

thats cats for ya

youre fantastic thanks again...

Teacher said:

other than that though, he was my angel.

he and my boyfriend of that time HATED one another though., and used to fight all the time.

nakedpianoplayer said:

i'm sorry, sweety

tamaranow said:

VERY cool of you!

cborgman said:

see, thats just it, they are all weird about stuff like that its like you can almost hear them saying... "i'll show YOU" right before they do something distructive


i remember 'Sam' the cat i had for years and years growing up... EVERY SINGLE TIME we had out of town company that left their suitcase open he'd pee in it ..... every time

needless to say, our company was not to fond of our kitty

cborgman said:

thank you

im sad... but, you should see my daughter that breaks my lil heart...

this one is a whole lot more torn up than mine is.... but, its definately the same purse..

nakedpianoplayer said:

homer would bite and scratch anthony whenever anthony would get closer to me than homer was. homer was very very protective and possesive of me.

i would go ad get into bed, and homer would follow me in and lie down against me as he always did, and anthony would come in and lie down a few minutes later and try to snuggle and homer would bite him. anthony would get up and put homer out of the room and shut the door, and homer would wedge his paw under the door and rattle it and meow, and hate him even more.

they really despised one another.

cborgman said:

its not funny, but it kinda is

i'd say that cat thought that was his space in the bed and was definately not wanting to share it

nakedpianoplayer said:

i thought it was hilarious.
still do.

not just thebed. we would sit on the couch, and homer would sit against me and scratch anthony if he tried to get too close to me. we learned quickly that anthony had to sit on one side of me, whichever side homer wasn't on.

Maybe he was a Coach fan.
