Norma, I think you probably spoiled your dog and didn't raise him quite the same way. My other boxers chewed furniture and one tore my antique sofa apart. She later chewed the door frame when we left her home alone. This boxer is good and doesn't chew. But when she was young I was home with her and would say no, no, if she went near the furniture. Now she won't even get her toys from under the chair, table, etc. Whines for me to get them. Also, gave her plenty of tennis balls and toys to chew on. The dogs we got at five weeks were much better behaved. Pat

Pat, You spoiled your dog too. Just read this to Frank and he said tell you he has to crawl on the floor for Ben's lost tennis balls. This after staring and whining till he does. Can't say too much he does this to go outdoors no messes in here ever. He has all kinds of chewable, but never any soft toys as he destroys immediately. One he has not, is Miss Ellie (elephant) we put it in the cage with him at night only. Its lasted 2 1/2 yrs. Norma Frank wishes he had something going to the market these days. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Tacy413408@aol.com> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 11:35 AM Subject: [NJ-Memories] Re: Pica > Norma, > > I think you probably spoiled your dog and didn't raise him quite the same > way.
