Remotes are roughly the size and shape of a good bone, they’re hard enough to offer decent chew resistance, and soft enough that the dog can make progress. What’s not to love? 😛 ---

My cat knocked my $1800 video projector off the shelf. ---

I’ve not had major problems with family dogs. My sister might still complain about her dolls the old dog got at, though… The real reason I’m posting here, though, is to share this image of [dog-delivered-destruction](https://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/10/2/aozzROgBu06k4gSN-Aau1Q2.jpg) I spotted on another website recently. Moral: Apple packages and young dogs should not cohabit spaces unsupervised. Or - check the porch before letting the dog out! ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Our dog chased our new cat in the living room. The cat jumped from the couch to the coffee table and landed on the most expensive item in our house. A glass art object, valued at over $15,000. Shattered it. You have a dog, a cat, and had a $15,000 object that wasn’t secured behind glass? Ouch. Tough lesson to learn. I hope there was insurance on that. ---

Reading about all the doggie destruction in this thread is both horrifying and entertaining at the same time, but sometimes you just need a visual to make your day … I hereby present you with: [Dog Shame Blues](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohdo-F3-IEI). ---

On the other hand I was putting a credit card away, got clumsy, it flipped out of my hand and into my dog’s mouth. He chewed a couple of times. Who knows how much not being able to use that card might have saved me? ---

The dog always pretty calm. Tough lesson to learn. No insurance. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-expensive-thing-s-has-your-dog-destroyed/636941.md?page=2)
