Rabelou (born 23rd June 2013) came here as a tiny puppy on August 21st 2013 when he was 9 weeks old. So many things have happened since it's difficult to know where to begin. So I guess the best place to start is at the beginning.
I have had many dogs before but this time it was the first time I had one that came as a trainee demolisher
(I think I'll change the word 'trainee' to 'highly experienced)
OK, all tiny dogs have sharp teeth, and need something to chew on, but most of them are content chewing the new toys they get bought for them --but toys were not good enough for Rabelou -- he decided from day one the first thing he would use to extend his skills would be --
MY FURNITURE!

MY FURNITURE!
The very first thing was the dining room table, now this had been in our home for over 40 years without a scratch on it!
The table legs must have been a real temptation for him because that's where he started. (Seems silly to say this but apart from the damage he was doing I was afraid he was going to hurt his mouth! - That NEVER happened he must have been born with a mouth that had been reinforced with steel!
I was given lots of advice how to stop him doing this and I eventually decided to try things out.
Goodness knows what people must have thought when they came to visit and noticed that one of the dining table legs that was being chewed, was now sitting inside a plastic tumbler ( Glad to say this actually worked - at least with that table leg)

As soon as Rabelou realised he couldn't chew through the plastic tumbler on the dining table -- he just changed tables!
Obvious what happened next - the tumbler was only going to work on one table at a time so the ‘tumbler idea’ didn't have the desired outcome I had hoped for.
This tiny little 'Ninja' then decided there was plenty other things available. Because I was keeping a closer watch on him he was caught in the act - no need to send him to trial -
he was GUILTY!
