I have 2 dogs, one a LEGO killing maniac, the other doesn't even notice they exist. The LEGO killing one, Murphy the attack poodle, has the ability to find any tiny piece and destroy it within seconds. He seems very partial to the color grey. Yes, he destroyed 10 light grey 2 x 4's in about 30 seconds the other day. :x :cry: Not sure if that is worse than when he ate my graphing calculator or not.

I was hoping never to reply to this thread, but...

My sister has started to board dogs for a little extra cash so she can buy a MINI when she's 18 (please don't ask, long story :roll: ). Anyway, one day she had a puppy over called Patches who...quite frankly...wan't potty-trained yet..

So.

You can probally guess what happened next.

I don't know what attracted that #*%#^&!#@ puppy to crap all over my Dragon Fortress baseplate, but he did. :evil:

After the exclamations of a few select words and some well-placed kicks, plus a demand addressed to my sister, the mess was cleaned up and now the door to my room is ALWAYS shut.

I'll stick to my 1x5x2s, 2x2x3s and other LEGO POOPs from now on...

Note how the pirate sabres begin with a few random bites, sometimes nearly severing the blade. Then he learns to modulate the pressure. This is followed by reshaping and elongating the blade in a progressively controlled manner.

The lance was more formidible - he barely bent it the first time. Then he learned he could bend it with more pressure and could work three-dimenional rather than bending in merely a two-dimensional plane.

Who knows what impressions he would have worked on one of the Little Armory scimitars if I hadn't caught the little %$#@! in time! :D

Nice custom weapons TTK :lol:

My wife and I have 3 cats in total, but only one of them
likes to sleep in a box of bricks. You'd think the bricks
would hurt the cat, but she likes it. I've even caught
the one, rolling in bricks on the floor. Too much "nip",
if you ask me.

Other than that, they leave it alone.

IT WAS NOT FUN.

....And that is the story of why my brother gave me all his Black Falcons.
Ever since then Blackie(my cat) has been always trying to chew up bits behind my back. So I decided to kill to birds with 1 stone!
I gave Blackie megabloks :twisted: and I couldnt be happier with the results. :P

My 2 ferrets love to swoop in and steal the odd piece. The underside of my sofa could probably qualify as a pick a brick.

Ferrets are commonly known in Europe as polecats. They're cute Slinky's who run around everywhere, are very inquisitive and playful. Oh, and they're theives too.
