We have three huge dogs, newfoundlands, the biggest is 165 lbs and the smallest is about 100 lbs. they are very sweet and gentle, carry around stuffed animals. I haven't found them to be destructive in the sense you mean, Bentley our biggest is drooly so I have to follow him around if he comes in the house, one good shake of the head and I need to wash some walls. The two cats do make me a little crazy, if I leave things on my desk, I find shredded papers, so far nothing important thank goodness, they also shove things under the rugs, like pencils??? If I leave a glass with water on my nightstand, one of the cats will spill it during the night. I've learned my lesson. I've been trained. LOL

I am sitting here waiting to go on our hike. I am almost tempted to leave the dogs at home. I don't know if anyone here has more than one dog, but sometimes they can be destructive. We have to eight month dogs. One is a white boxer and the other a lab. They decided to destroy the yard last night. We have torn up cushions, plants and all kinds of things all over the yard. My other half was nice enough to clean it all up.
Does anyone here have problem pets, or pets that think they are human? Let me hear some of your pet stories!
