If you're not paying attention it just sounds like
normal background noise. But it isn't, it's the sound of a dog chewing on
something. It's a sound that alerts Mark, and causes an immediate frenzy.
"Ack!
What's she chewing? What, what is it?.."
Mark has good reason to panic. Since we got Scout, she
has chewed up a television remote, a bed pillow, a sofa, Mark's oxygen hose
(more than once), and a new pair of Mark's glasses. It is funny though, that Scout hasn't targeted my stuff as much as she has Mark's. Jealousy? Can a dog
be jealous? Anyway, over the years our dogs have chewed on
much of our furniture. This was almost exclusively done when they were puppies and didn't know any better. Mark gets all upset when he dwells on the damage
they've done, but I get sentimental. Each and every tooth mark, scratch, chewed
on table leg, makes me remember my dog's puppyhood and just how cute they were.
