Harley was bascially a very easy puppy. She was crate trained and loved to sleep in her crate....it was her home (it was also gigantic). One time I could tell that Harley was going to throw up and I was so afraid she was not going to make it outside, so I ran her into her cage. From that point forward, she would always go in her cage if she was going to get sick!
Gym Shoes
As I prepared the night before to go to Shipshewana, IN, I put my shoes out before going to sleep, so I'd be ready in the morning. While I was sleeping, Harley ate the backs off of my shoes. I think she figured that I wouldn't be able to go!
She really wasn't much of a chewer, but this was one of those times.
Vaccuum Cleaner Cords
Another one of the times that Harley decided to practice her chewing skills was when she ate my vaccuum cleaner cord (while the vaccuum was still plugged into the wall). She not only did this once, but twice! I don't know what the appeal was, but Harley likes to bark at and chase the vaccuum too. She's lucky that she didn't get shocked!
Ant Trap
One day when I was home sick from work, Harley decided to eat an ant trap. Naturally, I thougth she was going to die, so I rushed her to the Animal Hospital, where Dr. Bob helped us out. Dr. Bob even called the manufacturer and found out that it wasn't anything to be concerned about (especially since the ant trap was pretty old). Whew! I was relieved, but no rest for the weary. (Thanks, Harley! It's always nice to see Dr. Bob...he's hot!)
Chocolate Candy
I had a housewarming party and Harley was just a puppy. When everyone left, she became very wound up and was running around the house like a nut. I quickly discovered that she ate a whole bowl of chocolate candies that I had out. She was like Rick-ochet Rabbit!
Pizza Delivery Boy
When the Pizza Delivery boy unexpectedly walked into the entryway, although Harley was barking ferociously at him, she nipped his leg and ripped his jeans. Talk about a terrifying moment for a dog owner/lover. The kid's parent called and wanted proof that Harley had all of her shots, etc. I consulted with a lawyer at work and he said I didn't have to provide anything and shouldn't, but since I already spoke to her, to go ahead. Luckily, that was the end of that story.
Raccoon Leg
Harley excitedly came to the door with a raccoon leg in her mouth. That explains why Daisy came in trembling right before her! Harley thought she won a prize!
