While at work today, we all started sharing war stories about the things our animals have eaten. It made me think, why, why do we put up with this behavior? So here is a list of the things that have been consumed in our house over the past decade:

1. one bag of fertilizer
2. 4lbs of raw chicken
3. 19 (19!) Krispy Kreme donuts
4. two Krispy Kreme donut boxes
5. countless loaves of bread
6. one passport
7. one datebook
8. at least three library books
9. many magazines
10. several bags of hershey kisses
11. 2 1/2 sofa cushions (not just pillows, but actual sofa cushions)
12. my mother-in-law's outdoor blinds (very expensive treat. Thanks, Scout)
13. drywall
14. 5 pairs of shoes
15. a memory foam mattress topper
16. the corners of the steps on the deck
17. Brad Barnes' glasses
18. Coby's glasses
19. one Cox Cable remote

Despite all this, we still have three dogs and one cat!
