Don’t leave things around ur animals

Haha has this book “fifty watches that changed the world” by Design Museum lying on the bottom of my liquor cart with the rest of my books. Had no idea how valuable it now is. Picked it up to read for the first time in a while and noticed this




Little did I know, I purchased this book for $30 years ago, and not it’s worth $400-$1000 hahaha. Out of all the books I had with it, they chose to chew this one of course

Huge facepalm.

Yep, with that patina, it’s now worth at least 1,500!

I had a dream my dog chewed up my box ad papers on my first expensive watch I ever bought. Made sure not to even keep it on a table they could jump up on. Still dont feel its safe. Sorry that happened to you!!

Bacciagalupe the cat chewed thru the wires to my computer speakers. He has also tried to bite my audio system speaker cables and interconnects. Some of these cables are very expensive.

The day I picked up our wedding video (yes VCR tape) I placed it on the kitchen table and walked into the living room to tell my wife. With great excitement we turned on the VCR and TV and walked into the kitchen to retrieve the tape, only to find my six month old Bassett Hound Sammy chewing it to pieces!

I would have killed him if the wife didn't stop me.

Throughout his life he also had a great affinity for my brides shoes, woodwork, carpets and the like.

Bad as he was, I sure do miss the bugger.

Like scratches on a watch. Gives it character. Get him/her a good bone.
