Our girls love shredding tissue, ESPECIALLY when they're having a temper tantrum

When mine was in that stage, he wouldnt grab a whole roll, but instead, pull it out until it broke and be dragging a few feet of it around with him until he stopped to start chewing... 
Glad he's out of that stage

My dogs now tear apart their favorite squeakie toy just to get at the squeaker inside - and then they just lie down and squeak it *constantly*. It can be enough to drive you crazy because they never tire of the noise. But I do take it away from them mainly because I'm worried they'll SWALLOW it.
Thank God they haven't discovered toilet paper yet - God knows it's pretty easy to come by in my house. We leave the bathroom doors open all the time, but they'd MUCH rather drag the bathroom mats all over the house.

That's too cute! My dog covets paper towels. He hangs out by the dining room table, or trash can, hoping to catch one "in transit" that he can swipe and chew on. watercolor
yeah yeah

How long did that stage last for you dog? I don't know how much longer or how many more rolls my roommate can take.

Thank goodness they are turning into DOGS - you know, sleeping, moaning blobs who occasionally bark and yawn. I let them out of their crates in the morning before work - which is usually about 4am - and when they were little, that meant little lapping tongues, jumping up and falling down, and following my EVERY SINGLE footstep. It meant if I put out food, they would RUN over even if they weren't hungry. And they couldn't WAIT to go outside. *NOW* - I'm lucky if Jangle does anything but roll over and make dog moaning noises. He gives me this "it's too eeeeaaaarrrr-leeeee" look while he stretches and yawns. Jingle drags herself up for a half awake drink of water.
We're trying to teach them to swim, which of course involves actually GETTING them into water - something they already hate to do - well - unless it's a muddy PUDDLE - then they love it. When we took the pool cover off to dry, we got hit by a downpour, and the cover became Southern Maryland's biggest Slip N Slide - and they *used* it. We had a good laugh watching them dart about and slide in the water, mostly unintentional.
But we took the cover off, because we saw Jingle fall in - *twice*. Each time we got out in time, but we knew it was time to get the pool ready and TEACH THEM TO SWIM - because if they ever fall in when we AREN'T there, I need to know they can save themselves.
So far, every attempt to get them into the pool VOLUNTARILY has failed, and each attempt to get them in INVOLUNTARILY has been met afterwards with dirty (dog) looks. The looks that say "I don't like you - you got water all over me".

Nickel said:Can you even teach a dog to swim?I mean, they're not people...they're dogs. Throw them in the pool and if they don't drown, I'd say they'll figure it out.
Well, yes and no. You're right, it's not as though I'm teaching them the backstroke. But so far, every dip in the pool has resulted in two unwanted reactions - complete panic, and a quick doggie paddle to the closest side - where they lack the strength to pull themselves out. We're trying to get them to always paddle towards the stairs - where they can easily get out. Bluejay has said that in the past, she's had dogs in this very pool that had no trouble going in and out.
I just can't bear the thought of them drowning alone.
