'Course it chewed a couple sizable holes in the living room couch, which the kids never did as babies...a very sweet animal, though.

Ugh...yeah, puppy-proofing a house is way different from kid-proofing! My Fiona (I get a kick out of your having a Fiona dog, too!) still isn't past the chewing stage. But her very, very favorite thing to destroy is tissue paper. She can take one Kleenex and spread it in tiny bits throughout the WHOLE HOUSE - leave soggy little pieces stuck to alllll the furniture and all over the floor. It's amazing how much of a mess that makes! My brother took a box of Kleenex down from the shelf where I had it and left it on the couch, so I was reminded of that this weekend...

I guess it's akin to a toddler's ability to spread one Oreo over an entire wall...

Hi RosieCotton,

That's funny, I never knew of any dog named Fiona before.

Apparently Fiona is the feminine version of the Celtic name Fion, sometimes seen as Finn. I pronounce my dog's name "Finna," but am probably mangling it. Maybe Overtaxed, or one of the Celtic folks can say.

But her very, very favorite thing to destroy is tissue paper

Mine lives outside these days, which I think is the preference of a hound dog anyway. She still gets in trouble, she digs holes everywhere now.

Hello everyone, was away for the night, I'll try to catch up again.
