Zimmie came into my life purely by coincidence after having been dumped on the streets at 4 months old. Within a week of owning him, and

after the FIRST $280 vet bill, I realized that perhaps his original family probably just couldn't handle this unbelievably adorable

demon-muppet. He does have separation anxiety, but he likes to trip me up even more by occasionally acting like a perfect dog...just until he gets his privileges back. He might be smarter than I am sometimes. The pictures I have included are only a few of many to document his voracious appetite for chewing and destroying.


Here's a short list:



* within 2 days of bringing him home he had proven that I named him

correctly when he ate my Bob Dylan box set. (Bob Dylan was born

Robert Zimmerman.)

* approximately 20 pairs of shoes (some of which had not even been

worn yet)

* 3 tv/dvd remotes (to the point that I actually had to put some

pieces together before I could recognize the original item)

* 2 entire phone books

* 2 retractable leashes and a collar

* my purse, including a $20 bill

* my makeup bag and all the contents (see picture of Peach Faced

Love Dog)

* a large sampling of the compost heap while we were at a friends

backyard BBQ, and taught her 2 dogs how to do the same

* at least 25 DVD cases (thankfully he doesn't like the taste of the

actual discs after the Dylan incident)

* 6 books (and yes, the end of the one I was reading)

* countless electrical cords

* dog toys are not even worth describing. only one has lasted more

than a day and that's because he lost it for awhile

* a 12 pack of toilet paper- down to the cardboard roll

* 64 pack of crayons

* my childhood teddy bear, which happened to be set on a shelf that

I could barely reach. He climbs (see pic).

* pillows, blankets, socks, etc, etc etc.

But he is my child, and we have one of the greatest love stories ever told.
