I'm hoping we can attract a good size group, I know there's a need for one. Dogs that can and have tested and proven they've got destruction skills are most likely often ... More

So I have two puppies. Well, one's 9 months old. Patrick is a husky and his breed has turned him into an oversized, well, challenged puppy.

Patrick is a husky and his breed has turned him into an oversized, well, challenged puppy. Secret Agent Egg III , Eggy for short, will be 2 this month. We actually got Patrick as a puppy for Egg. We thought she'd be happier with a puppy, and she most definitely is. Before we got Patrick, we thought Egg was an aggressive chewer. She'd destroy everyone, some just took a day or two longer. Most didn't last the first day. When left alone we'd come home to find all the sofa cushions removed and probably at least one would be pulled apart at the seam and she'd have been pulling stuffing out. Then came Patrick. His first night here he ate part of a window AC unit. That was actually in a window. Our world was about to change. If left for mere minutes, the now dynamic duo will have almost if not all the sofa cushions removed. If longer, the world is their oyster. Keep in mind I'm talking about while I'm home still. We quickly learned they'd be in my grandson's room at night where'd they'd just surrender and sleep. If not, the path of destruction could be vast and varied. Pretty much every book on my "new, to be read shelf" was shredded. Socks from unknown origins were chewef apart. Board games pullec from shelves with now half eaten box tops. Everything was fair game. My grandsons baptismal candle was dug out from where it wad kept. Removed from it's box, and chewed into bits that were so few and sparce they were unidentifiable. Till what was remaining of the box was found. None of the items ever made sense. There was nothing good smelling to attract Patrick let alone cause him to find and pull out to be destroyed. The final straw on getting a crate for while we were out came when we came home to find the remains of a fire extinguisher. That while too wide and round to get into his mouth, he'd managed to destroy the top to the point of it being food in an opaque chemical pool on the floor. So that's that's inside Got a rather large foldable crate, so wouldn't be up all the time. To crate train your to put up the crate and give them a chance to inspect and accept the crate. The theories were they'd accept it as a place they'd choose to be. Ha we'll see. Well, fooled me, they love it! They both spend untold amounts of time just chillin in it and I didn't have the heary to fold and put away, so it's a great big thing, pushed to the side in my living room.
