Snowball, the fuzzy wonder, is the latest addition to the family. In true puppy dog fashion, he's teething and pretty much chewing everything he can get his little paws on. We've learned to just keep doors closed so that he doesn't get into bedrooms, closets, etc. without someone with him.
Went for a swim last night and left my gym bag in the bathroom... forgot to close the door, and a fuzzy someone went looking for treasures. I went to hunt him down, and he has something large and white in his mouth... my favorite latex swim cap. (Got sort of a tie-dye thing going.) Seems to be that the combination of stretchy, rubbery, and noisy (when you chew it) is quite the thing when having a chew toy. He didn't even have the decency to look guilty! When I finally got it away from him (after chasing him around the house and wrestling him out from under the bed) it was too late... had a few too many holes to be all that useful.
So anyone else lose swim gear to pets?

The first ribbons I ever got in age group swimming - probably "heat winner" ribbons from a developmental meet - I proudly pinned on the bulletin board above my desk in my bedroom. I woke up one night to the sound of Puss yawking...yawking up the ribbons which he had chewed. So not only did I have two half eaten, soggy ribbons, I had a puke mess to clean as well. I didn't think too fondly of my cat for days afterwards...
