Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-38C753; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I had a male Shepherd named Abraham and an Italian Greyhound named Honey. If I forgot to put the IG in her crate or close the bedroom door, Abraham would shred the top and bottom sheets trying to get to the IG. I think over his 14 years we went through about 6 sets of California King sheets. Both are gone now, but I still remember their antics.
