Captain Destructo

Bella is now a bit of a chewer. We were making dinner in the kitchen one evening and found her chewing on the bottom corner of a cabinet. Luckily I think we stopped that habit. Other destructive tendencies:  if you leave out a piece of paper, she will shred it. She once ate a fitness calendar I had in a gym bag while we were at the grocery store. (This was from a few months ago--hence Shawn's shorts--although the weather is still pretty decent here in the winter).

And she certainly wears her toys into the ground. Shawn and I finally had to go through and throw out a number of her toys. Her first toy, Edward, has long been gone. Here is a picture of her with Edward II (the Christmas version). He needs to have some major surgery, or be retired as well.

We decided that if we invested in some higher quality toys perhaps we wouldn't have to wrestle stuffing from her mouth as often, so we bought her something similar to the Edwards of the past that is made of a much tougher material with reinforced stitching. She has already torn his leg off.
