Rehoming my 4 dogs- help!

Because they ate my chocolate brown leather couch.

I agree with Aslan, I don't see any guilty pup evidence

Aw, heck, MM. A few staples will fix it up good as new!

Your four s wouldn't have done such a thing! Either your couch has been eating too much and just busted a seam, or one of those rare but pesky roving black-holes singularities was passin' through. I'm sure it was something innocent like that...

You know couches are not made as well as they used to be - I agree, the seam just busted. I'm sure those babies are innocent!

Self defense. It was self defense . Couches are well known for their lecherous wandering arms

It's quite clear to me that the doggies are responsible, and they absolutely should be rehomed. To ME!!!!

exactly Growler , and if you notice the phone on the couch arm .... a neighbor's cat must have placed a crank call to the dogs to make them attack the couch.

it's kind of obvious !



sorry for your couch

OMG - my husband would rehome the dogs if he came home and found the couch like that!!! I agree, somebodies cat called them and egged them on. I'm sorry for your couch though . It is odd that they didn't pull the stuffing out. My walls look like that if I leave Shadow home alone. In fact hubby almost did get rid of her the first time she ripped apart a metal door and pulled all the insulation out of it.

Pandora opened up my cream leather couch when she was a pup. Loki has slowly been chewing on the corners of the love seat and chair. Just a couch or at least that's what I keep telling myself...

Aww, it's just a couch. Easily replaced or covered with a nice, cozy blanket so the doggies don't have to lie on the cold leather. I'm sure my gang could do tons more damage than that!!

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps, there was something living IN your couch and it finally worked it's way OUT?
I think the puppers are innocent, and you should be searching under your bed and in your closets for the real culprit!

Looks like the work of a Poltergeist. They've been known to destroy leather couches.

Oh it looks like they just pulled a few threads, nothing too bad I don't even want to think of all the things Tucker ate... carpets, drywall, 2 mattresses, hole in the middle of the couch cushion and numerous clothing items.
