And the winner is...
Asia, the jalapeno-licking, furniture-chewing pug, brings home the prize in the first Happy Wag comment contest.
Here's the story:
We got our middle pug, Asia, about eight years ago. She was the runt of her little and subsequently, the breeders gave us a weight gainer formula that made her teeth razor sharp. Well...she was biting into the furniture with abandon. The breeder recommended that we get jalapeno peppers and squeeze the juice onto the legs of our beautiful coffee table as a deterrent to biting. We went to a Mexican specialty store that sold us their highest potency peppers. The juice had an opposite effect on Asia. She sniffed it, licked it, and chewed all the more!! So much for best laid plans!
The image of the ravenous little pug made me laugh. Hey Asia, I love peppers too, but I never used them to season furniture. Here's hoping your pet mom, Laura K., does not have to use the book "Dog Days" to prop up a table with a chewed-off leg.
Thank you to everyone who posted a comment. They were all great stories and it was a tough choice. To Cali, Bogie, Beethoven, Ned, Zoe and especially poor little Boo Boo, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't eat too many table scraps!
And to Katie, I am so sorry for the loss of Tawsky. I am sure he was a wonderful dog and I know you miss him. We lost a dog suddenly in August, too.I will be thankful this year for the memories we have of Missy as I am sure you will be of Tawsky.
