Can I offer a little advice, friend? Put him in a CRATE when you are out of the house. It's NOT discipline or punishment, REALLY. My 2 dogs go in the crate when I'm not here, and that is the way it's always been. Their crates are like their dens.
PLEASE. Shit, I'LL go buy one for your little troll. YIKES!
Do you have a kennel for him? He needs to be locked up whenever he's not with you. And when you're home, attach a leash to him and you and then he goes with you everywhere until he's trained. Both my dogs are kenneled when we're not home and when they're irritating me or Katie, this usually involves food.
The fact that he's not dead tells me you are a patient person because I would have killed the fucker!
Jesse, the oldest beagle ate a corner of my brand new, expensive chair when we first got her. She survived, barely and we got a furniture repair guy to fix the chewed part.
Oh my!! We just got a new pup a couple of weeks ago and even though we kennel her when we are not at home and in the evening, she has still managed to eat our flowers in the back yard, get into the trash, and tearing up other crap when I turn my head for a second.
Damnnnnnnn.......how awful! I doubt I'd be able to stay pissed at the little fella for very long, but yeah...something's gotta give soon. I agree with the crating suggestions, maybe that will work. Also, I think there is a spray that discourages pets from getting near certain items. But I don't know if it actually works or not.
me too. I had an airedale who was my soulmate, and I say that with not a trace of sarcasm. She destroyed my house, two crates, an area rug through the crate, the couch (I got so sad seeing that photo) and took the trim off the door frame...my girl had problems. I miss her.
i can't comment on your previous post...not sure why... but, tell your hubby that they do make attractive crates out there. Seen them many times. You really do need to crate him. He can't damage anything and can't hurt himself.
OMG - I would be absolutely f'ing livid. I can feel your anger man...and totally understand. Our crate is currently sitting in the basement - thanks to my husband. I'm seriously considering pretending the dog ran away one of these days.
OMG! Welcome to the wonderful world of Bostons!! I've had two, and yeah, sadly they will chew until the puppy years are gone. I did crate them while I was gone (covered it in fabric BTW). I also buy the super hard rubber chew toys. They are kind of hard to find for small dogs, but well worth it. Pig ears also work well (but gross). Otherwise I have little pieces of dog toy everywhere!
Hey there, I'm stopping at your site for the first time via seattle mamacita... Unbelievable pictures; unbelievable dog. I am amazed he's still in your household!
(Believe it or not, he likey likey this...)

I think that dog has to mysteriously disappear, soon. Your sanity depends on it!
Couldn't you crate him?
oh no!!! Artie is really really asking for trouble!!!
You have GOT to be shitting me!

Hey, at least he unzipped the covers before he destroyed the stuffing!!!!!
And you better be careful with pictures like that. The folks from PETA will be all over you.
Oh my...I would be very pissed, too. Do you have a backyard? That's where we keep ours. :-)
Hugs!
*In best mafioso voice*
"You want I should handle this problem for you?"
Seriously, Artie....WTF?
Maybe you should try feeding him dog food....so he does not have to resort to eating couch foam! (hee-hee)
Oh my gosh! I am so cracking up! Oh, and I'm sorry bout alla that, too!

Kennel, definitely.
Oh, Artie!!!
He is so grounded.
In my professional opinion your dog is exhibiting the classic signs of separation anxiety.
Get him a crate.
Put him in it when you leave the house.
That'll be 50 bucks.
Aaaarrrrtieeeeee!
Nooooooo!
oh no what a naughty dog. he is a naughty, naughty peanut. No beefsteak for SOMEBODY tonight!
You can take lessons from my in-laws on what to do with dogs that are no longer needed...
You really need to crate him.

Awwww...but how can you get mad at a face like the one in #3???
Is he grounded?
Wow! He's worse than my three cats that think every piece of furniture is a scratch post and the whole house is their litter box.
But look at that face! It's a good thing he's cute.

Good luck with him!
Oh dayum. Crate. I'm a firm believer of the crate.
lmfao! I bet it makes you wonder what evil stuff you did in a past lifetime to get the MOST BADASS DOG ON THE PLANET! lol
I thought we had an evil shitstain of a dog. :)
Yikes!!
But you know you love him. Those eyes.
Murphy ate an entire couch when he was just a pup. I was beyond pissed off.
But I love that little shit. I do. I do. I do.....
Honey -- you need to tell your hubby (as one Boston owner to another), the kennel is a MUST.
Artie isn't going to stop on wishes alone. Without the crate, your dog will eat you out of house and home. TRUST ME!
You tell him to call me if he doesn't believe it.
We had a dog that did things such as that.
"Had" being the key word here .
:)

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Amen. I was secretly praying that my dog would get some of the tainted dog food that was killing all the pets.
doh! Dog would be grounded!!
Aw, he's cute though!
I use to crate our dog, too. It worked wonders.
That little guy is so damn cute, its hard to believe he's such a...what did you call him? A shit stain? lol
Those pillows look delicious to me!
DOH!!
I almost spewed coffee all over my screen!!
What is my little Artie man doing!
Havin all kinds of doggie fun, that's what he's doing!
Oh. My. Godfrey. What a little stinker!
Oh yes,
we used to use a dog crate for our little "Moose" when we would leave home.
