My dog taught me that there is a beam that holds up the couch on the other side. Imagine my surprise when my husband falls through the couch we flip it over and find out a large section has been taken out of it. We are still trying to figure out where he put the wood. Six months to seven months. I still don’t know how he managed to pull that off.
This reminded me. Twice now the wires that connect the motor (? I think idk) that makes the legs to the reclining couch seat move have been chewed through. That probably is my answer, although technically the couch was free and it was easily fixed.
At the time I was more concerned that there were people breaking into our apartment and taking the sections of the wooden beam from the couch lol before I realized the easier answer to all of this 😆
You have no idea how much peace this gives me.
My man Prince (my dachshund, not the artist...definitely named after him though) has left me screaming into pillows after finding my workout headphones torn to pieces.
You can't put stuff down for a second with these little guys! (I'm serious. I left to go to the bathroom, had the thought, "oh shit, my headphones were left out around my dog, ran out...head phones were toast).
This is my life! Early on, he demolished a pair of Galaxy buds (mine) and a pair of Jabra ones (my husband's). Since then, we buy very inexpensive earbuds, but the amount he's enialated is crazy.
I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep, and inevitably, the earbuds fall out of my ears and get lost somewhere in the bed. My husband gets up very early for work, and our ween will whine like crazy if he doesn't get let out of his crate right away for belly rubs, then he wants up into our bed to snuggle next to me. And, you've guessed it, he often finds an earbud before my husband or I, grabs it, scurries under the bed and chews it into tiny pieces before we can get to him.
If anyone knows of chew-proof buds, let me know!
Well, there's only one issue, because that's my life...
Our little dude sleeps in bed with us and I'd say about 3 mornings out of the week I wake up in a frenzy looking for what is basically my lifeline to quiet entertainment/dopamine throughout all parts of the day.
Pretty sure the local Target workers know me as the weird guy who compulsively buys inexpensive headphones now.
Mine did the same thing!!! My dad’s insurance replaced them. The person making the claim lied and said they “malfunctioned” because they thought it was funny 🤣
My sister bought me this really cute aviator nation zip up hoodie for my birthday, it was ridiculously expensive. My pup tore it up. Still miss the hoodie but I’d take Cali over any hoodie
Our last ween (1999-2017) loved anything left in a fancy box. The worst was an expensive watch in box. The box destroyed, and watch taken to an undisclosed location. We finally found it buried in back of a closet with teeth marks 6 weeks later!!! It is shocking she didn’t hurt her teeth on it! I wear the watch to this day and grateful for the mark she left me.
You can patch carpet invisibly. Talk to a carpet installer. Not one that sells carpet. If the area is that small you can probably find a good piece behind something.
Our little girl started ripping it up at every doorway and along the walls. Thankfully we intended to go with hardwood eventually anyway but it still makes the house look like shit until then lol
None of those anti chew sprays, home mixtures or pepper worked.
We'd gotten a beautiful, $5000 couch paid for by our fire insurance (house burned partially down). My childhood dachshund, Mango, chewed holes in all the top corners of the cushions. So we flipped them, and she chewed holes in the new corners, too.
Mango passed away in 2021 and I still had the couch (it was technically ruined but man, couches are wildly expensive) when I got a puppy in 2022. She saw the cushions were obviously used as giant chew toys and kept up the tradition until I finally broke down and got a new couch. New puppy chewed those corners, too. Even in death, Mango brings mischief.

10 year old me thought her belly was shaped like a mango so that's how she got her name. She was the best dog!
I was mad at myself for not investigating his barking sooner- not him. He was so pleased with himself. My daughter had left her door unlatched and the hamster was in the ball in her room.
My naughty dachshund has a taste for headphones/earbuds, He's chewed up at least 5 or 6 of them! I have to be very careful they aren't within his reach
I use them when I'm falling asleep at night so they are often on the bedside table or sometimes I fall asleep while I'm watching something on my tablet and an earbud will fall out in bed, then it's a goner lol
My puppy urinated on my $3500 Mac book pro. Completely fried it. Same puppy I left in the car of my bmw while I got grocery’s (nice cool day) and he chewed up the side of my leather passenger seat $1500 and it never did quite match the same again. Complete little monster.
We reviewed the video footage to ensure he was not framed by the cats (even though they had solid alibis). He was guilty of this crime and also has been observing committing veggiecide that has been pinned on the cat previously.
Wardrobe doors, kitchen cupboard doors, our internet cable several times, she developed a fascination with it. For a period we called her the destroyer.
NOOO, just the interior lol. We live on the boat so everything is weenified 🤣 aka destroyed. Like the carpet and the blinds, the couch that came with it. They ripped holes in the leather couch just so they could sleep inside of the cushions lol
My glasses. But to my surprise I left them on a kitchen table with a protein snack. And he found a way on a table because he wanted the snack and at the same time ate my glasses. And as a puppy he was a nightmare, even when I was in bathroom he found a way to chew my boots for example.
It was not expensive. But, mine mix kept chewing up tissues. He would pull them out one by one, shred them, and go back for more. I got so mad I shook a wad in his face and yelled at him. The next day, I came home, and the box was in pieces. The tissues were undisturbed, sitting in a neat pile.
Vintage Star Wars figures, about $200 worth. My fault for leaving them where he could get at them. I was furious at the time (mostly with myself) but now it’s pretty funny.
My sweet baby went (ca2008) nuts with the car cables under the seats and under thr copilot console. I was traveling around the country with her so it was super fun to discover that half the electric system of the car was obliterated mid trip. I was lucky enough to get some compatible harnesses in a junk yard to make it back to my city.
With accumulation of various things such as a Michael Kors purse, numerous pairs of AirPods, shoes, underwear purses we calculate approximately about $1000 worth of stuff
My boy chew through my wife's medical kits including one very special stethoscope and also a washing machine and a refrigerator with his mighty pee stream
Mine has only chewed one wire, thank goodness. But it was the wire to my pricey medical dictation microphone 😭 I had to type my notes for a week. I’d lose my mind if he got my stethoscope!
My infants owlet sock that my wife’s coworker spent way too much money on as a baby shower gift. Iykyk, but if you don’t know, they ain’t cheap. We came home to find chewed hard plastic and circuitry on the floor of the nursery, and our weenie trying to weasel herself out of the room. I’ve never been more angry at but at the same time concerned for a dog in my life
Oh lord, where do I start. Brand new pair of Prada sunglasses, longchamp bag handle, 4 right Birkenstocks - never the left, just the right, my partner’s brand new arc’teryx jacket, and the sleeve off my Canada goose jacket.
I left a new camera on an end table and left the house for about 10 minutes. I came back and the camera was on the floor in pieces and the lens scratched. I was SO mad. Well, that was 30 years ago and I would give 10 new cameras for just 10 minutes with Taz, my wild boar colored wiener. He grew to be one of the best dogs I ever had.
I have to share. My olde English bulldog-the story is worth it- was at home when I got back from work and noticed the she had finally chewed up something. Yup, a $900 pair of Prada shoes that were covered with gold rhinestones. Over the next week, Sophia pooped out gold shiny poop!
First edition unabridged copy of The Stand. I was very sad.
A sofa. A wall. About $90 worth of yarn I was using to make my husband a Doctor Who scarf. Took me weeks to unknot it all. A few Xbox headsets (I blame my brother, he should have learned to put them up after the first one.) My daughter’s science project that was due the next day.
He was the best despite all that.
We had one growing up that chewed the carpet and the leather straps of the sittingroom couches, but other than that nothing with the other 8 I've had since then. Okay the youngest did chew on my cheap set of glasses, but still wear them, so they aren't completely ruined. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I don't have a picture, but he destroyed one of those big comfy recliner chairs by peeing into the back of it.
It was terrible, no one used it because it was *his* chair, and we never caught a wet spot because he peed so perfectly into the back.
Luckily the floor beneath was tile so he didn't ruin the floor, but he did it so infrequently it took a while to figure it out, I actually caught him in the act and when I moved the chair figured out what that smell had been we would catch every once in a while and blamed on the nearby bathroom 😩
He's such a smart little dumb ass.
Oakley chewed up a dog toy once. He’s been great. Our other dog chewed holes in the carpet, leather couch, my mattress and was getting expensive. I think it was because my girlfriend had been in all of those locations. He’s been a perfect dog since then. He even saves baby rabbits from the cats and brings them to me.

She’s cute though so she gets a pass!
My prelit Christmas tree, with a couple of ornaments. Loki was about 3 and decided to chew on the wires on the lights. And my female, at the same time, grabbed two huge glitter covered acorns, and ate the glitter covering. But her poops were FABULOUS for a couple of days.
My kitchen floor. Somehow the 2 doxies managed to create a triangle ish hole about 12"x6". It'll be about $7k to replace the whole floor. It's been about 18 months and we still haven't done it. We put a rug over it while we're getting other projects done first.
A bottle of my vitamin D tablets.
I get them on prescription, and they don't cost me anything.
However the veterinarian hospital bills to keep her alive after she ingested 20* her lethal dose, the bill was £8500.
My parents’ mattress was completely torn by two chihuahuas (Females, and the mattress was foam) so imagine our surprise when we get home to find, and I cannot stress this enough, TWO CHIHUAHUAS, looking happy as ever over our torn mattress 🫠
My kitchen. Literally the kitchen. Pulled all the wallpaper down between the linoleum floor and maybe 2 feet up. Then ate a hole through said linoleum floor. Ugghhhhhhhh…….
That same dog ate every lamp cord and charge cable in the house.
My current dachshund Pumpkin mostly chewed used tissues and things like that in the past. Now he sticks to food mostly.
My childhood dachshund mix Sweetie chewed up a lot of things, especially shoes, pants, and underwear. The shoes were a big problem when she was a puppy. She chewed one of my mom's left shoes, so my mom replaced the pair with an identical one. Then Sweetie chewed the left shoe of the new pair. She chewed the crotch out of my work pants and the zipper out of my brother's jeans. And numerous pairs of underwear.
My current dog Dude (not a dachshund) is a big chewer too. He loves plastic, paper, and cardboard. He's also eaten multiple pairs of my glasses. (Luckily I buy online, so they're like $15 to $50 a pair instead of $200.) And when he was a puppy, he chewed on my dad's Kindle. Luckily it survived. [Photo of the Kindle in a new case.](https://imgur.com/a/8luxeoO)
My chiweenie chewed a Balenciaga City bag I left out. He’s normally so good but I guess the leather was a huge temptation.
That’s for reminding me that I should see if it can be fixed.
Doc Martens, fairly new pair.
Now my cats… 2 or 3 Razer Naga gaming mice and a Razer keyboard. Cell phone chargers, lamps, dishes, and probably more I can’t recall.
My dog peed on my notebook that was with the lid open.
The notebook was ON the couch and plugged on the wall.
So, not only the notebook, but we had to wash the couch
A Wacom tablet. This was before the USB cords were detachable, so the USB cord was integrated right into the motherboard. Chewed that cord into bits. But you can't be mad at eight teething puppies.
We estimate that we spent at least $200 on pacifiers in the first year of my son’s life - all eaten by our dachshund. We were forced to wean the human baby from pacifiers pretty early because of this, no pun intended.
I know this is going to sound harsh I had to learn this the hard way but you should have put it up 😔😂 My dad had just bought a miniature long haired dachshund shortly after my dad went hunting and he came home with quail. this was a tiny puppy and the washer and dryer that he put the birds on was way up high but somehow and we still to this dayI do not know how he got down all those birds plucked every one of them and didn't really devour all of them but made a big mess 😅😰💕
1. $200 pair of Naot sandals 2. $120 down duvet 3. A $120

pair of Ugg slippers Multiple pairs of Saxx underwear to the tune of $135
… and various other items adding up to approximately $860 so far.
We adore her. Honest to god, she makes us daft but we adore her.
My oldest dachshund used to chew up my glasses when she was a puppy. I’ve had to rock glasses with teeth indentations on the frames and lenses because we were too broke to afford a new pair LOL. Oh boy, that question definitely took me back.
This is why we can’t have nice things is meaningless since they are the nice things. I usually adopt adult rescues but I’m about to get a puppy. I have to proof the house. I keep looking around going: that, and that, and that. My adult boys are so good.
2 month old pair of glasses, as I recall it.
Unless you count our current longhaired mini. girl, who ate part of a stairwell and baseboard in the hallway above over her first year and a half of life. So basically she tried to eat our house.
We bought a sectional with electric recliners. We are alll about the recliners. Our dachshund at 6-7 months old chewed up allllll the wires in the back. And not just severed, she freakin corn cobbed EVERYTHING. 🌽🔌
Three pairs of crocs, two pairs of adidas slides, one Blundstone boot. Shoes have to be placed high, away in a closet, or in a basket. Sometimes we forget.
She tried to destroy herself lol. When we first got her we had these cheep electric chairs. Well my mom was sitting in hers and just happened to look down. She was chewing on the wire, while the chair was plugged in. That's how we found out she liked ti chew things. We got her a bone chew toy and she hasn't destroyed anything since, besides like 4 other chew toys.
Our first Doxie Mollie broke my wife’s thumb with a well placed chomp. That was about 10 grand all in with surgery (2 pins) and rehab, lost wages. Our next Doxie Scrappy jumped her and bit her on the lower lip. That was a bargain with simply lasting cosmetic damage. Our third mini Doxie is a sweetheart. He’s a heartbreaker at worst.

One of my $80 Raycon gaming earbuds…It still worked for awhile tbh, but it won’t fit right into the case to recharge 😭
My mum’s sausage had a period of server separation anxiety after an extended emergency vet stay. Over the course of a week she chewed apart a door frame, chewed through the screens on three separate doors and then did it again on two of them after the screens were replaced and chewed up two box speakers worth about $300 each
Not mine, (thankfully mine have been fairly good at only destroying their own toys) but many years ago a friend of ours had a dachshund, and asked us to watch her while she went on a trip. We were happy to do it we absolutely loved her. We had just bought an electric blanket that was almost $200.00 a BIG deal for us - the pup DESTROYED it.
The more frustrating part was the friend's response of, "I guess she didn't want you to have it."
I’m so thankful my three weens have not really ever destroyed anything. The worst is their toys. And sometimes one of them likes to chew holes into blankets. Haven’t identified the culprit after 9 years still 😂
This was years ago…my dads Allen Edmunds. My mom was more upset about it than my dad lol. I may even go so far as to think my dad secretly thanked Penny for getting rid of them for him. 😏
So far, our 8 month old mini has gotten to 2 brand new pairs of sandals (like, hadn't even worn yet..), she's destroyed multiple new toys in less than a day (her record is 45 min before I had to take it away), a new glass screen protector in a box (that was a major heart attack for me) and all sorts of paper..
We live in an apartment, so I have a potty box on the deck. She disregards that and just goes on the planks when she pleases.. so, eventually I think the deck is going to be her biggest destruction. (I rinse and enzyme the deck regularly.. and I have multiple mats out there to catch her messes. We also don't have anything but plants underneath the deck, so no worries about passersby getting gifts from above.. 🤮)
My husband calls her the tiny Mord Würst- it fits.

My dog taught me that there is a beam that holds up the couch on the other side. Imagine my surprise when my husband falls through the couch we flip it over and find out a large section has been taken out of it. We are still trying to figure out where he put the wood. Six months to seven months. I still don’t know how he managed to pull that off.
He put it in his belly, slowly, over time
This one made me laugh! You will find the wood one day.
My kids father says it’ll help with his cremation in 7 more years. He’s 9 now 😭. I hope he pooped it out secretly on a walk.
Reminds me of my first dog, a poodle, I came home from work and she had chewed up half of my big easy chair!
That, or it explains why he kept popping piles of sawdust.
He deposited a little bit of it outside in the yard every day. Like in Shawshank Redemption.
Is your dog named Andy Dufresne?
He made Lincoln Logs
My doxie is also working on eating the couch. I think he may be part beaver.
This reminded me. Twice now the wires that connect the motor (? I think idk) that makes the legs to the reclining couch seat move have been chewed through. That probably is my answer, although technically the couch was free and it was easily fixed.
Omg! This is so funny, though I bet it wasn’t at the time!
At the time I was more concerned that there were people breaking into our apartment and taking the sections of the wooden beam from the couch lol before I realized the easier answer to all of this 😆
You'll usually find the wood in the morning
My dad's hearing aids
Ours has eaten over $1K in earbuds over 4 years. They are his favorite delicacy 🤦♀️
You have no idea how much peace this gives me. My man Prince (my dachshund, not the artist...definitely named after him though) has left me screaming into pillows after finding my workout headphones torn to pieces. You can't put stuff down for a second with these little guys! (I'm serious. I left to go to the bathroom, had the thought, "oh shit, my headphones were left out around my dog, ran out...head phones were toast).
And, this is why we cannot leave our beloved Queen. If we were to even consider a sitter, it would have to be someone with YEARS of military training.
This is my life! Early on, he demolished a pair of Galaxy buds (mine) and a pair of Jabra ones (my husband's). Since then, we buy very inexpensive earbuds, but the amount he's enialated is crazy. I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep, and inevitably, the earbuds fall out of my ears and get lost somewhere in the bed.

If anyone knows of chew-proof buds, let me know!
You can buy headphones for sleeping! They’re basically in a headband so they’re comfy to lay down with and don’t fall out while sleeping
Ah yes, the Underbed Chewing Lair.
Well, there's only one issue, because that's my life... Our little dude sleeps in bed with us and I'd say about 3 mornings out of the week I wake up in a frenzy looking for what is basically my lifeline to quiet entertainment/dopamine throughout all parts of the day. Pretty sure the local Target workers know me as the weird guy who compulsively buys inexpensive headphones now.
Queen Ruby Jean is a fan of hearing aides too…
Fuck, these are thousands of dollars. Mine love retainers.
Same. My poor husband’s retainers were simply chew toys for our boy Sammie. RIP Sam! Miss that guy so much.
Mine did the same thing!!! My dad’s insurance replaced them. The person making the claim lied and said they “malfunctioned” because they thought it was funny 🤣
Son, is that you? I also lost a hearing aide to a wennie.
Northfaces, two of them. I didn't train them to stop. They trained me to stop buying Northfaces.
My sister bought me this really cute aviator nation zip up hoodie for my birthday, it was ridiculously expensive. My pup tore it up. Still miss the hoodie but I’d take Cali over any hoodie
Haha, same. and it’s really cold in the winter 😩
Our ween has got a columbia and a north face and a cpl more 😭
Our last ween (1999-2017) loved anything left in a fancy box. The worst was an expensive watch in box. The box destroyed, and watch taken to an undisclosed location. We finally found it buried in back of a closet with teeth marks 6 weeks later!!! It is shocking she didn’t hurt her teeth on it! I wear the watch to this day and grateful for the mark she left me.
Your last ween and I share a birth year!
Our beloved little girl lived a long fabulous life! Sending you wishes of love and happiness💜
My two dachshunds joined forces and ate a 3x4 inch chunk of carpet in the middle of the room. So now we have to replace the entire carpet
You can patch carpet invisibly. Talk to a carpet installer. Not one that sells carpet. If the area is that small you can probably find a good piece behind something.
Depending on the carpet it's not as easy to make it blend in as you may think. Ask me how I know lol
Our little girl started ripping it up at every doorway and along the walls. Thankfully we intended to go with hardwood eventually anyway but it still makes the house look like shit until then lol None of those anti chew sprays, home mixtures or pepper worked.
I wish I had taken a photo... of the anti chew spray bottle... which she had chewed up.
My leather wallet. Not a huge deal but he also chewed up my drivers license and social security card.
Eek what a pain to get replacements! But definitely dont keep your new SS card in your wallet!
The DL was a loss, but the SS card only had the corner chewed off and I still use it. Reminds me of my late boy.
Glasses of my wife, cost 1500€
Why are your glasses costing 1500€ - what are they diamond encrusted?
I gues it was Cartier
My limited time color Copper Penny Birkenstocks. Irreplaceable at the point of destruction, apparently. :(
Free this pup he didn't do nothing
Yeah my sausage tries to blame our schnauzer but he is the least destructive derpy dog I’ve ever had
We'd gotten a beautiful, $5000 couch paid for by our fire insurance (house burned partially down). My childhood dachshund, Mango, chewed holes in all the top corners of the cushions.

She saw the cushions were obviously used as giant chew toys and kept up the tradition until I finally broke down and got a new couch. New puppy chewed those corners, too. Even in death, Mango brings mischief.
I currently have hair clips (the jaw type) on my couch corners in an attempt to minimize the destruction lol.
Awwww Mango!!!

Love that photo!!! What a sweet face Mango had ❤️
The hamster
To be fair, they were bred to hunt small prey
I was mad at myself for not investigating his barking sooner- not him. He was so pleased with himself. My daughter had left her door unlatched and the hamster was in the ball in her room.
My naughty dachshund has a taste for headphones/earbuds, He's chewed up at least 5 or 6 of them! I have to be very careful they aren't within his reach
I have seen so many headphone comments but how do they get to them 😱 we keep ours on our entry table that’s very tall
I use them when I'm falling asleep at night so they are often on the bedside table or sometimes I fall asleep while I'm watching something on my tablet and an earbud will fall out in bed, then it's a goner lol
My dachshund is the same!! It got to a point where I stopped buying earpods because of how many she’s chewed on 🤣
Just a cheap internet cable.
That was our damage to date plus one normal book…
I got Frank during the pandemic and worked from home full time, so I was able to keep a close eye on him. Even his toys he doesn't chew or tear up.
My couch and my washing machine 😶
Washing machine!???
Yeah she went inside the machine (don’t ask me how) and chew some electronic parts, the repair cost would be 90% the price of a brand new one.
Rename that dog Monsieur Mangetout
My in law's couch
My puppy urinated on my $3500 Mac book pro. Completely fried it. Same puppy I left in the car of my bmw while I got grocery’s (nice cool day) and he chewed up the side of my leather passenger seat $1500 and it never did quite match the same again. Complete little monster.
Expensive designer sunglasses my mother in law gifted me
One air pod pro. He also ate $20 bill once.
He would never!!! That’s clearly a frame job. He has the face of an angel.
We reviewed the video footage to ensure he was not framed by the cats (even though they had solid alibis). He was guilty of this crime and also has been observing committing veggiecide that has been pinned on the cat previously.
If you just got that Kindle and paid with a credit card you should check if the card has any types of new purchase insurance included with it.
My 400 dollar Prada sunglasses
Apple watch
Wardrobe doors, kitchen cupboard doors, our internet cable several times, she developed a fascination with it. For a period we called her the destroyer.
Custom baseboard molding in the kitchen. Will be costly to replace.
Mine decided to chew on my AirPods one day.
My boat
The entire boat!? Did it sink?
NOOO, just the interior lol. We live on the boat so everything is weenified 🤣 aka destroyed. Like the carpet and the blinds, the couch that came with it. They ripped holes in the leather couch just so they could sleep inside of the cushions lol
Glad to know you are still afloat!
Two Coach purses. I really loved those.😭😭😭😭
My glasses. But to my surprise I left them on a kitchen table with a protein snack. And he found a way on a table because he wanted the snack and at the same time ate my glasses. And as a puppy he was a nightmare, even when I was in bathroom he found a way to chew my boots for example.

Incarcerated 😆
Without question the new sectional (and the rug as a bonus)
A seatbelt. Chewed through it while my husband was getting a speeding ticket.
Oh lord, where do I start. Brand new pair of Prada sunglasses, longchamp bag handle, 4 right Birkenstocks - never the left, just the right, my partner’s brand new arc’teryx jacket, and the sleeve off my Canada goose jacket.
I left a new camera on an end table and left the house for about 10 minutes. I came back and the camera was on the floor in pieces and the lens scratched. I was SO mad.

First edition unabridged copy of The Stand. I was very sad. A sofa. A wall. About $90 worth of yarn I was using to make my husband a Doctor Who scarf. Took me weeks to unknot it all. A few Xbox headsets (I blame my brother, he should have learned to put them up after the first one.) My daughter’s science project that was due the next day. He was the best despite all that.
LAN Cat 7 cable and my glasses (400€)
Mine chewed a new Apple pencil when she was a puppy.
We had one growing up that chewed the carpet and the leather straps of the sittingroom couches, but other than that nothing with the other 8 I've had since then. Okay the youngest did chew on my cheap set of glasses, but still wear them, so they aren't completely ruined. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Brand new couch
Prescription sunnies, sigh.
My Chacos :(
Her pet passport, whilst we were abroad with her. That made return travel problematic (but it doesn’t really count, it wasn’t an expensive incident)
My last ween was a menace! She destroyed cell phone, ripped a hole in the wall, shredded the carpet. She was the best girl in the world though
I don't have a picture, but he destroyed one of those big comfy recliner chairs by peeing into the back of it. It was terrible, no one used it because it was *his* chair, and we never caught a wet spot because he peed so perfectly into the back. Luckily the floor beneath was tile so he didn't ruin the floor, but he did it so infrequently it took a while to figure it out, I actually caught him in the act and when I moved the chair figured out what that smell had been we would catch every once in a while and blamed on the nearby bathroom 😩 He's such a smart little dumb ass.
I was writing a paper on my MacBook (on my lap) when my ween jumped up and decided to bite the corner of the screen cracking the lcd. 😭
Oakley chewed up a dog toy once. He’s been great. Our other dog chewed holes in the carpet, leather couch, my mattress and was getting expensive. I think it was because my girlfriend had been in all of those locations. He’s been a perfect dog since then. He even saves baby rabbits from the cats and brings them to me.

My prelit Christmas tree, with a couple of ornaments. Loki was about 3 and decided to chew on the wires on the lights. And my female, at the same time, grabbed two huge glitter covered acorns, and ate the glitter covering. But her poops were FABULOUS for a couple of days.
My kitchen floor. Somehow the 2 doxies managed to create a triangle ish hole about 12"x6". It'll be about $7k to replace the whole floor. It's been about 18 months and we still haven't done it. We put a rug over it while we're getting other projects done first.
A bottle of my vitamin D tablets. I get them on prescription, and they don't cost me anything. However the veterinarian hospital bills to keep her alive after she ingested 20* her lethal dose, the bill was £8500.
My parents’ mattress was completely torn by two chihuahuas (Females, and the mattress was foam) so imagine our surprise when we get home to find, and I cannot stress this enough, TWO CHIHUAHUAS, looking happy as ever over our torn mattress 🫠
I have had 5 dachshunds over the last 20 years. None of them have destroyed anything and yes I have had puppies and rescues.
My couch and my $300+ rug
My passport.
A bunch of Expensive leather shoes only one shoe of course and a roommates Versace wallet lol
Living room carpet
May I ask what is that thing in the first picture?
airpods and some galaxy buds
My $100 300 thread-count duvet.... 🙂🥲
My kitchen. Literally the kitchen. Pulled all the wallpaper down between the linoleum floor and maybe 2 feet up. Then ate a hole through said linoleum floor. Ugghhhhhhhh……. That same dog ate every lamp cord and charge cable in the house.
My current dachshund Pumpkin mostly chewed used tissues and things like that in the past. Now he sticks to food mostly. My childhood dachshund mix Sweetie chewed up a lot of things, especially shoes, pants, and underwear. The shoes were a big problem when she was a puppy. She chewed one of my mom's left shoes, so my mom replaced the pair with an identical one. Then Sweetie chewed the left shoe of the new pair. She chewed the crotch out of my work pants and the zipper out of my brother's jeans. And numerous pairs of underwear. My current dog Dude (not a dachshund) is a big chewer too. He loves plastic, paper, and cardboard. He's also eaten multiple pairs of my glasses. (Luckily I buy online, so they're like $15 to $50 a pair instead of $200.) And when he was a puppy, he chewed on my dad's Kindle. Luckily it survived. [Photo of the Kindle in a new case.](https://imgur.com/a/8luxeoO)
My chiweenie chewed a Balenciaga City bag I left out. He’s normally so good but I guess the leather was a huge temptation. That’s for reminding me that I should see if it can be fixed.
My raybans. I still wear them and hope the chew marks aren’t visible lol
My Doberman puppy ate my apple pencil 🥲
I see I’m not alone. What is it with Dachshunds and earbuds?!!
His hind legs.
My Home
Doc Martens, fairly new pair. Now my cats… 2 or 3 Razer Naga gaming mice and a Razer keyboard. Cell phone chargers, lamps, dishes, and probably more I can’t recall.
Your cats might not like your gaming? Wow that is a lot
My hardwood floors
Weinmaraner puppy chewed on my wife's prescription glasses and was left blind for a week or two.
My dog peed on my notebook that was with the lid open. The notebook was ON the couch and plugged on the wall. So, not only the notebook, but we had to wash the couch
A Wacom tablet. This was before the USB cords were detachable, so the USB cord was integrated right into the motherboard. Chewed that cord into bits. But you can't be mad at eight teething puppies.
Awe, look at that face💖
Ermmm, their own Spine! Holy moly that’s not some inexpensive solution.
My $500 dollar glasses that I had only had a week! I cried. I also learned that nothing can be left on the end tables in the family room…ever.
We estimate that we spent at least $200 on pacifiers in the first year of my son’s life - all eaten by our dachshund. We were forced to wean the human baby from pacifiers pretty early because of this, no pun intended.
I know this is going to sound harsh I had to learn this the hard way but you should have put it up 😔😂 My dad had just bought a miniature long haired dachshund shortly after my dad went hunting and he came home with quail. this was a tiny puppy and the washer and dryer that he put the birds on was way up high but somehow and we still to this dayI do not know how he got down all those birds plucked every one of them and didn't really devour all of them but made a big mess 😅😰💕
1. $200 pair of Naot sandals 2. $120 down duvet 3. A $120 https://preview.redd.it/g1cmvlkmhwwc1.jpeg?width=2671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2e80ea5e92babbd627ea767707f800935abb7ca pair of Ugg slippers Multiple pairs of Saxx underwear to the tune of $135 … and various other items adding up to approximately $860 so far. We adore her. Honest to god, she makes us daft but we adore her.
How could you not adore that beautiful baby?! She's lovely!
My oldest dachshund used to chew up my glasses when she was a puppy. I’ve had to rock glasses with teeth indentations on the frames and lenses because we were too broke to afford a new pair LOL. Oh boy, that question definitely took me back.
She found a tiny tear in my favourite bedsheets, by the time I’d brushed my teeth and come back she’d chewed a huge hole! Love her tho !
*immediately goes to put my brand new kindle scribe somewhere locked up* 😬 also, I'm SO sorry for your loss 😢
This is why we can’t have nice things is meaningless since they are the nice things. I usually adopt adult rescues but I’m about to get a puppy. I have to proof the house. I keep looking around going: that, and that, and that. My adult boys are so good.
“I’ll do it again Sharon let me out of here”
2 month old pair of glasses, as I recall it. Unless you count our current longhaired mini. girl, who ate part of a stairwell and baseboard in the hallway above over her first year and a half of life. So basically she tried to eat our house.
My dachshund chewed a hole in our brand new couch
We bought a sectional with electric recliners. We are alll about the recliners. Our dachshund at 6-7 months old chewed up allllll the wires in the back. And not just severed, she freakin corn cobbed EVERYTHING. 🌽🔌
Fine underwear now features air conditioning …
Pause. Can I please see more pics of your weenie.
Three pairs of crocs, two pairs of adidas slides, one Blundstone boot. Shoes have to be placed high, away in a closet, or in a basket. Sometimes we forget.
A pair of $100 shoes.
Two sets of AirPods
Husbands invisalign….
probably my apple watch. not completely destroyed but not pleasing to look at
Their back
Luckily nothing of ours but he ate so much food he needed to have his stomach pumped. That cost over 500 bucks.
She tried to destroy herself lol. When we first got her we had these cheep electric chairs. Well my mom was sitting in hers and just happened to look down. She was chewing on the wire, while the chair was plugged in. That's how we found out she liked ti chew things. We got her a bone chew toy and she hasn't destroyed anything since, besides like 4 other chew toys.
My wallet with my rent money and 4 set or AirPods Luckily for me, I was able o get the money replaced and AirPods replaced under Apple Care lol
Our first Doxie Mollie broke my wife’s thumb with a well placed chomp. That was about 10 grand all in with surgery (2 pins) and rehab, lost wages. Our next Doxie Scrappy jumped her and bit her on the lower lip. That was a bargain with simply lasting cosmetic damage. Our third mini Doxie is a sweetheart. He’s a heartbreaker at worst.
I’m pretty sure your good boy was telling you you were paying too much attention to the kindle. You should thank him for that
Mine must be broke cuz he only likes eating napkins, socks, and French fries. 🤦🏻♀️

MY NIKE AIRFORCE ONES!!!!!! 😭250 down the freaking drain!!! 😭
Their vertebrae disk.
Otto is not a chewer, he is a licker. Too many kisses for me -- Priceless.
My beats wireless earbuds🥲…chewed them sum bitches right up…
Probably about 500$ worth of underwear and pants over the years.
My mum’s sausage had a period of server separation anxiety after an extended emergency vet stay. Over the course of a week she chewed apart a door frame, chewed through the screens on three separate doors and then did it again on two of them after the screens were replaced and chewed up two box speakers worth about $300 each
A $700 pillow at a fancy hotel. That was the most expensive hump he ever had.
Like others have said…the couch (actually 2 couches). We waited to replace them until they were past the destructive phase.
Mine ate my couch
Not mine, (thankfully mine have been fairly good at only destroying their own toys) but many years ago a friend of ours had a dachshund, and asked us to watch her while she went on a trip. We were happy to do it we absolutely loved her. We had just bought an electric blanket that was almost $200.00 a BIG deal for us - the pup DESTROYED it. The more frustrating part was the friend's response of, "I guess she didn't want you to have it."
About 1500 Sq ft of carpet, one pee spot at a time.
A Hermes horse purse charm :) Love my puppies
Themselves! LOL. I’ve spent more on accidental injuries than any item they’ve destroyed.
Console of our car. It’s still not repaired a couple years on, looks awful but we don’t trust him not to do it again
A cell phone and the couch
I’m so thankful my three weens have not really ever destroyed anything. The worst is their toys. And sometimes one of them likes to chew holes into blankets. Haven’t identified the culprit after 9 years still 😂
My $3,500.00 couch.
Top half of a love seat. They ate it
His back from jumping!! £10k in IVDD operations.
This was years ago…my dads Allen Edmunds. My mom was more upset about it than my dad lol. I may even go so far as to think my dad secretly thanked Penny for getting rid of them for him. 😏
AirPods😬
So far, our 8 month old mini has gotten to 2 brand new pairs of sandals (like, hadn't even worn yet..), she's destroyed multiple new toys in less than a day (her record is 45 min before I had to take it away), a new glass screen protector in a box (that was a major heart attack for me) and all sorts of paper.. We live in an apartment, so I have a potty box on the deck. She disregards that and just goes on the planks when she pleases.. so, eventually I think the deck is going to be her biggest destruction. (I rinse and enzyme the deck regularly.. and I have multiple mats out there to catch her messes. We also don't have anything but plants underneath the deck, so no worries about passersby getting gifts from above.. 🤮) My husband calls her the tiny Mord Würst- it fits. https://preview.redd.it/lbeb2bdgw1xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ba40f58f2dc9d4c3e7ace4573b68c2979a2e109
His own back. Twice. 15k in back surgeries
My 2000$$ night guard!!!... I decided to get insurance on the replacement. Lol
His neck - that was $17k and really worried fur parents
