We love having dogs in our life. When we lost Maxwell a few years ago I knew I'd never be able to replace him, but I did want to get another dog.
Last year we introduced you to Piper, the dog we adopted from Take Me Home Pet Rescue. We are not sure of her breed, but think it's a mix of Chihuahua and Terrier. My only experience had been with Pugs, so I expected what we've had with Max and Leo.

Since we've gotten Piper we've really learned to de-cluttered the house, minimizing anything on the floor that she could chew, but honestly the chewing is a bit frustrating.
Good thing she's so super cute and lovable. Leo loves her too, even when she chews on his ear and wears him out.

This evening we just admonished Maxine, the baby girl kitty for chewing on the plastic recliner handle. Now I know who chewed the back end of the rubber handle on my new frying pan and the corner of the rubberized cutting board. Lets invent jaw straps for kitties and puppies - think we'll get rich?
Piper must be young to be chewing so much. Our dog Ryder finally grew out of it after the age of 2. The worst thing he did was chew a whole in the center of the carpet on one of our stairs. Luckily we could replace the carpet for just that one stair. We had to put up baby gates for 2 years to ensure he couldn't get to the carpet - especially when we weren't home.
Kim, Piper turned 1 in January, so I guess we have one more year of this. It's nice to hear that they grow out of it.
Piper also chewed a hole in the area rug in the office. Right now I have her crate over it and that's where she has to stay when we're not home.
