To be fair, same things with cats. Although they have less mass (and thus a bit less destructive), in compensation, the occasional bouts of destruction appear through the life. Christmas tree? Nope, cat exercise tree.

I always felt like cats were more into targeted destruction. When my cat broke something I usually used it just a few minutes before.

While dogs are like... just gnawing through everything they can put into their mouth. Whenever I'm at my mother's her dogs love of senseless destruction amazes me.

I used to have a nice pair of gorilla slippers for years until my old dog ate one. I can't find a replacement for them due to my shoe size.

He has also destroyed regular shoes, a tv remote, wireless keyboard and mouse, a dog training book, and part of a door frame. (among other less consequential things.)

He was a big dog, (130+lbs) The teething phase was especially rough for all of us. My other dog actually took to hiding her favorite toys from him to avoid the furry shredder.

Ours is in the rex mode for a few weeks already… yay only a year and few months left

We have a pup in the raptor phase right now, complete with too much intelligence for his own good. He's a headstrong bastard with a strong taste for mischief and bathroom trash (he has a weird thing about pads, it's fucking gross), but I just can't stay mad at him when he gets all sleepy and snuggly.
