not again
 

I went home from work for lunch today and my damn dog ate my new wiring harness off my boat trailer, yes the one I just replaced because he chewed it off last week. This time he did it reight though and pulled the wires all the way back to the marker lamps. What a good dog :rolleyes:

I have a permanant solution to your problem, its called a Glock:crazy:


:eureka: or you could just tie the dog on a chain.

there are about 4 people you can ask about my newfoundland, he has the damn harness eaten before you can even get it unplugged from your truck:mad: I am sick of replacing both mine and otherpeoples trailer plugs, granted it takes me about 45 seconds and I buy them in bulk

I say wire it to a battery :eek: . Nothing major, just enough for a suprise when he does it the next time. ;)

Now you've got me thinkin.:eureka:
I don't have an extra battery, how bought a 220 line from the breaker box :D

Some years ago, I went into the garage and tried to start my Ferrari..... (this was before I bought a bunch of Freightliners, leaving me in a position where I now drive Ford products).... The Fizzazz wouldn't start and I opened the bonnet......and discovered a (barn) rat had feasted on my wiring loom.

Those of you who know me......can imagine the next 24 hours...... much like a movie I once saw.... I dismembered the garage...... put traps inside traps...sat with a pellet gun...swung shovels...and let my three Rottweilers loose in the yard.

The cure was to overlay the bottom 4 feet of sheet rock in the garage with sheet metal and place rat poison on every rafter in the house...and spend a couple of grand on new wiring for the car.

.........and that's why, to this day,........... I can smell a rat at 50 yards.......and can't help but try and flush 'em out;)

T2x...........running on the anti-rodent ticket

T2x, you should be an exterminator. :D

We once had a dog that had a taste for brake lines. She chewed three rubber lines off the front of our old 550 Suzuki. I found about the first one the hard way. :eek: :eek: :eek: :mad:

T2x: That is a part of the reason I got the dog(rodents). I've found my old work boots filled to the top with dog food, must have been chipmunks storing up for winter. also intakes and engines filled with shreaded rags.and dog food Rat traps with apples and a good pellet gun with a scope, I concur is the best solution.

Spray some pepper gas on there. Makes the fish at the dock spicey as well.

Dad, It Wasn't Me......:D :D :D

Ya I can only wait until next time I unhook the trailer and rub my eye.:eek:

As my dog sat at the window and watched my wife and I leave the house he decided he start a new thing, chewing. He started on the rocking chair and removed about the last two inches of each side. Then when he was board with that he moved onto the A/C stereo plugin wire.

HE HAS NEVER CHEWED ANYTHING SINCE. ( unless I gave it to him) :p

Agree with Mr. Demeanor. Put some form of pepper on the exposed harness and hope he gets to it before it rains. My lab ate the harness on a previous trailer once and the pepper fix cured him.

This just happened last night.
We had enchiladas for dinner, tryed a new hot sauce - VERY hot sauce. But the sauce actually was lousy. wound up throwing them away. About three in the morning the dogs decided to go through the garbage...
Woke up me and the wife when we heard the dog toenails clicking around in the bathtub - looking for any source of water because the bowl had been expended!!!
They went through three bowls of water each. I was pissed last night, but laughed my a$$ off all day.

This is the HOTTEST Hot Sauce on the planet. Just don't let him see you put it on...he will never trust you again.Dave's Insanity Sauce Trust me, One teaspoon of this stuff can ruin a pot of chili. I've done it. This stuff will make you go....:hothead:

Pepper and sauce come on it'll just egg the mutt on.

Fake a harness with electric oven wire taped to your trailer and plug the thing in a 220V outlet, then leave. That dog will never touch another wire harness, again. You'd be lucky if he ever pi$$es straight again.

LMFAO:D!!!

You guys are gettin' borderline animal cruelty!!! I don't think the 220 line is such a great idea....you see when he bites into it the voltage will most likely make his/her mouth clamp down on the wire and he/she will be killed. The spicy stuff will probably work but make sure he/she is outside so they don't puke or $hit all over the place :eek: I can't get the picture out of my mind of the dog in the tub lookin' for water, the toilet was right there thats what our older golden does. Always cold and full he says!!!!!
:crazy:

Mike:

We're talking about dogs here....not dust mops;)

My bastard of a lab has chewed the wiring harness off both of my boat trailers, chewed the spoiler on my car, the seat on the lawn tractor, the patio furniture, hmm ... I'm sure I could go on and on!

This dog chews everything. I've even watched him cary a half a cinder block to his house and chew on it.

Boy, it sounds like you guys had a bad batch of Labs. I have a 6 year old yellow lab and you could take the most expensive shoes you could buy, stuff them with raw hamburger and she would eat the hamburger, lick the shoes clean and never even think of chewing them. In her 6 years she has never chewed anything but what I gave her.

My brown bastard lab chewed up 6000$ of leather furniture!

Re: not again
 

Quit tying the dog to the boat trailer then!!!!



Remember what Clark did to that dog in the movie "VACATION" ?

I've had 4 shepards and this is the first chewer. All were pures.

ED I think I've had this before!
I had a bowl of chilli with no space at all. I found a bottle of hot sauce in the fridge unopened. Since the mouth of the bottle is so small I was only able to get a tiny bit of the fork into the bottle. I mixed what was on my fork in the chilli and almost could not eat it!:hothead: :hothead: :hothead:

And I love hot sauce. I usually dip my turkey sandwiches in Frank's hot sause. (Not very hot sauce but great flavor)

Addiction -
The wife has me trained and the toilet seat is down.
I found out later that Riley (the dog) actually attempted to turn on the faucet and raise the plunger for the shower. smart dog. The cap on the cold water side was laying in the bottom of the tub and the diverter from faucet to shower was half way up when we got in the shower this morning. He's seen it done before.
I laughed even harder when I found this out.

Just Once,
Our yellow lab chewed 2 of those wiring harness plug sets off the boat trailer before I was able to make a cover out of sheet metal to put over the hitch. I tried hot sauce after the first time...didn't work :puppy: I'm not so sure our golden retriever wasn't teaching him.

They are smarter than we think!!!!!!!:eureka:

If you had that boat in the water by now, you wouldnt have to worry about the trailer!! Just hook it up to the boats battery for a day.

My lab ate one of the wife's shoes when we first got her. Wife smacked her with the half-eaten shoe, problem solved. The dog has never chewed anything else over the last 5 years we've had her.
The in-laws' lab, however, is a different story. Shoes would be child's play for her. Some of her more notable snacks have included the cedar shake siding off the house, several pieces of furniture, etc. My all-time favorite was a tree. The dog actually ate through and toppled a tree about 5" thick. You should have seen the look on the dog's face when the tree fell over. (Yes, I was there and watching. I was going to stop her, but when I realized she was almost through, I had to let her finish. :D )

Black Lab ate the wicker furniture and the cover off the hot tub. Wife loved him, however. Said: "He'll grow out of it."

Then one day he ate her shoe. He was gone that afternoon.
