    Dogs have been chewing cords, starting fires, and electrocuting themselves since home electricity was a thing.

      When my dog, Fester, was a puppy, he was chewing power cords and I am still surprised and grateful he never harmed himself in the process, at least not that warranted care.

      He’s more constrained to his own toys and chewables now, but for a while nothing was safe. He has the epithet Fester The Destroyer for having chewed through over $1K of shoes in a week. His grand total it significantly higher.

      Alexandrite doesn’t allow image downloading so I don’t know how to provide pet tax.

      Here we go. Jackie on the right; Fester (The Destroyer) on the left.
