The last dog I had, a springer spaniel/black lab mix, ate (2) apple trees, half the pear tree, and half the family room window sill. She also kept digging under the side gate; rocks, soil, and all. Daily walks weren't doing it, and we ended up giving her away to a family with a large plot of land and a jogging habit.

There's a reason I prefer cats.

EDIT: Haertig, my car's been broken into 4 times, all while parked unattended. This visit occured while the house was obviously empty in broad daylight. I haven't had violence used against me in a very long time. Experience has shown me I'm more likely to be the victim of the sneak thief then the raider.
