Also for Sale: Green "distressed" solid wood dressing table with 2 drawers, removed mirror, flared legs, and a natural wood top with a recently added customized distressing technique. It was purchased from my favorite little antiquey/eclectic consignment shop shortly after moving into our first house over 10 years ago.
Free to good home*: 3-year old slightly "robust" female English Mastiff who sometimes responds to the name Paris. She loves massages from our toddler, feeding time, and solid wood table corners. Don't let her fool you into thinking this is her "I'm sorry" face. She just wanted her shaming picture over so she could lie down and go back to sleep. She apparently had a busy hour while I was at the grocery store.
Also Free to good home*: Her partner in crime. 3 1/2-year old male English Mastiff who reacts to the name Moose (but only if you say it 6 times in an increasingly loud and more irritated tone because he doesn't get up for just anything...except solid wood tables when his humans are gone).
The golden retriever we had for ~13 years did his share of damage by way of eating drywall and scratching a beautiful solid wood door in a house we rented. Our now 15-year old pointer has chewed a hole in nearly every comforter we have ever owned as well as a few choice pieces of clothing. She also peed on an old couch we had for reasons yet to be understood.
Please tell me we are not alone in this and share your favorite My dog ate or destroyed...story or just laugh with (not at) me. It will give me something to ponder while I look to see which furniture stores have the best Labor Day Sales.
*We've already kissed and made up. I wouldn't really give these big old lugs away. Okay, maybe I would have the first hour after I came home.
