Those coasters are an amazing find. We use a mix of fabric and hard coasters, the latter of which I regret buying for a variety of reasons. These are the perfect compromise.

what a perfect find! we too have a new puppy (http://small-measure.blogspot.com/2008/06/sink-or-swim.html), dexter, and he eats EVERYTHING, from the obscene amount of chew toys we festoon him with to the living room rug, multiple decorative pillows and even a once lovely bamboo tissue box. it’s a good thing they’re so cute!!

Thanks, Debbie, but that was sarcasm. I don’t actually encourage Fritz to chew on the furniture. As with most puppies, though, there are bound to be a few incidents before they learn what’s OK to chew on and what’s not.

And just for the record, I didn’t take this photo while Fritz was chewing on the chair (that particular arm was chewed over a month ago). Any look of “guilt” on Fritz’s face is purely coincidental. He was innocently sitting on the chair, and I took a photo of him to help illustrate the post.

Now that I’ve sucked all of the fun out of this post, I’ll stop talking.

not to be too pesky but whenever your puppy starts chewing furniture you should grab an appropriate chew toy and say “chew toy” and shove it in his mouth…it really works….

love the site…

Those are beautiful coasters, and I love the look on Fritz’ face! Chloe often has that guilty just caught look on her face.

I love those – they remind me of the countertop I’ve been coveting lately! Nice find!

Oh wow, Fritz has captured the best hang-dog caught-being-naughty look! Exact same face and stance as my cat Sage when busted tapdancing on the kitchen bench.

I’m sure Fritz didn’t mean it. He was just tasting the chair.
One of my labs likes to shred throw pillows.
Today we are dealing with our weimaraner who got sprayed by a skunk at 5 this morning.
I’m trying to remember how much we love our dogs.

I love your kid picture and your long bangs –

Happy Weekend to you.
