My audi warned me that some dogs LLLUUUUVVV to chew on the ear molds, because they smell so strongly of the owner.

Keep those things out of his way once you get replacements!!

The material tastes sweet to dogs. Too bad. Always case them when not in your ears.

Although your were probably already thinking this.

Alicia - the main question is - just how cute are your dogs?? Are they forgiven? When you scold them, do they look back at you like this??

You have my sympathies for the cost and aggravation. We dog owners put up with a LOT.

Ok, dont feel bad. I was so stupid that it happened twice. The first one she got the entire thing, and the second one was mold only.

That dog will teach me yet. She tries so hard to tell me things! haha

Oh sorry to hear that. Look like your dogs like your scent very much that it chews them. OOOWWW....So you are getting colourful ear mold? Be sure to post a picture of them once you get that....I want to see how does it look like, perhaps in future I might get like one.

Similar occasion happen to my mold too...but it was not dog but my small sister:S but luckily, it was swimming mold,not hearing aid mold. It was orrange in colour. She might have thought it was marshmellow.

Ah... next time, leave them out of reach. Anything that's within a dog's reach is an easy target.

Hate to break this to you, but anything hanging on a banister counts as "in reach" if the dog can reach any part of it to pull it down. Your dogs must have figured out the rule about "anything in a pocket that we can reach is obviously a toy for us."

This is in "Doggie Handbook," rule number one, I do believe. My dogs seem to have read that handbook front to back; they are always coming up with new "dog rules" that I was not previously aware of!

Like: if Mom or Dad are in the kitchen, doggie treats should be dispensed asap, even if Mom or Dad seem to be thinking about something else.

If no one is occupying one side of the bed, that automatically means that Dogs Are Allowed, even if dogs in theory are not allowed on the bed.

If anything is on the counter and reachable by nose when a certain dog is standing on his hind legs and reaching his nose over the counter as far as possible, then it must count as "treat for the dog," even if it looks amazingly like a sandwich prepared for people.

There are other rules they are figuring out; I am doing my best to stay one step ahead of them, not always succeeding.

Our dogs must know each other!

I wouldn't be surprised!

It's all part of the secret dog telepathy where they share their favorite success stories. You ever think our dogs are secretly plotting to take over the universe? They already know that "life must revolve around convenience of the dogs," so what's the next step, hmmm?

The dogs are also attracted to things that smell like you. Glad that the HA part is ok. At my house, animals are more important than things. Some people think I'm crazy but animal lovers understand.

My dogs are a better motivation for me than all the home improvement hints in the world as far as being a better housekeeper. Because of them, I learn FAST to put stuff away that otherwise would be a temptation to them, keep stuff out of their reach, in firmly closeable containers, at the back, not the front, of the counters, etc., etc.

While they are more important than things in the cosmic sense - i.e., if the house were burning down, I'd certainly grab my dogs before my HAs - "things" are expensive and need to be taken care of to keep them out of harm's way. "Harm's way" = inquisitive l'il doggies.
