Ok, so my dogs have this thing. Both my beagle mix and my papillon do it. They only destroy my husbands things. Never mine. Whether it's a shoe being chewed up, or the other day it was peeing on his pants that were lying on the floor.(Yes, I know, my fault, it had been a little while since they were out.) Now, I know what you are saying, just pick the stuff up, right? But this is a man we are talking about. Good luck. Anyway, just wondering why they only pick out his things? Is it by smell? Are they trying to say something by it? Do they not like him? Just curious if anyone had any intuitive thoughts.
