I once had an American Bulldog female pup that in one sitting literally ate a canopy swing. She then ate the cable line, three different times. Cost $200.00 to have the cable fixed. One helluva hog dog, though. Didn't know what it was to back up.
 
We had a Chocolate Lab that was a destructive beast when I was a kid. She was the most amazing dog, but she was destroyed the house and was good at it.

We went somewhere for the weekend, locked her in the backyard with the garage door open so she could go into the garage. Well, there was a kitty door into the kitchen from the garage, just enough for her to stick her head through and try to chew her way into the house. She chewed the door bigger, but also chewed up the kitchen floor in a nice little radius around the door.

Another time, she went into the bathroom to drink out of the pooper, and she managed to knock the door shut behind her.. and once she realized she was stuck in the bathroom, decided to chew her way out through the door and the wall.

She was a really awesome dog, but man she destroyed a lot of stuff.
 
I had a lab with separation anxiety. If you left him at home, he would go in the closets and gently pull all of the laces out of all of the shoes. He'd then make a big pile in the living room of everyone's shoe laces. No damage, but what a pain. When you got home, he would be all nervous and, before you even said anything, he would slink off into another room and hide his head under a chair (like an osterich).

He would also watch TV. Seriously, he would sit up in the corner of the coach, like a person, and watch talk shows. I can home one day and he'd managed to pull the fridge door open. He was sitting upright (back againt the upright corning) on the couch, with a stick of butter between his paws. He was licking it like an icecream cone and watching soaps. I kid you not.
 
My dog that we have now is another crazy beast. She also has some separation anxiety and she does strange stuff like that. Mostly, she just pulls my clothes out into the living room to make a "nest" of things that smell like me. Pretty funny actually.

She was a very bad dog as a puppy, ate the carpet twice, destroyed everything she could think of, the most random stuff you wouldn't think to hide from her. She's mellowed out a lot, although she still hides when we get home if she's been bad. It's funny... if she greats us we know she's been good... but if we walk in the door and she's not there... we start looking around for what she's done.
 
Our dog Shelby (shes a jindo) was the biggest PITA ever as a puppy. You would tell her not to do something and she would do it anyways just in spite of you and the crazy thing, she would do it while looking at you. Like she was testing you. We got Shelby right before we got married. One day before work, i had just gotten out of the shower and went to check on the dog and there was some shredded paper laying all over the living room floor. I went to pick it up and i noticed it was our marriage license (we had just gotten married like 2 weeks before). It was in a stack of papers on our table to be put in our safe. She had pulled the marriage license out of the middle of the stack and tore a big chunk out of it. We were pissed. A few days later, we get a letter in the mail from the state saying that our minster had mailed in the wrong copy of the marriage license and we had the state's copy. I called our county gov and had to explain to them that our dog ate it. They told me to mail them what we had ( we were missing a chunk of it) and they would accept it. So i mailed it in and they mailed us our copy back. I had them make a few offical copies of it just in case. Luckily for us, she has mellowed out alot now and its a pretty good dog now.
 
Our dog Bella is another one with separation anxiety.
My wife and I were at the beach and decided to stop and get some coffee. As we're walking back from the coffee shop my wife states; "don't kill her", I look over to the car and notice what looks like curtains hanging from the ceiling.
In the time it took to walk a half a block, order and get coffee, walk back a half a block, she had torn the ceiling out of our two month old Legacy GT including the side and curtain airbags. Good to know that our comprehensive covered such a thing.
Boy she was happy that we were back though!:D
 
for those of you with dogs that get separation anxiety---- get another dog,

i will never have just one dog again.. they get bored--they play with each other instead of tearing up stuff. the other + is they train each other. We had a border collie that lived to be 13 she trained 2 other dogs in that time. it was amazing to watch, one Rottie/mix and a English mastif/mix.. they learn faster from another dog, don't ask me why but they do.. just like hunting dogs. They are pack animals and like to have other dogs arround..BTW a bored Border collie is not a good thing.. they are smart and can tear up some stuff....
