Just to show though, it's not all bad. I do get peace on the rare occasion when his batteries are flat or at night time when he's in bed and I can escape without waking him

Exactly, Monty is far to sweet to do this damage, there must be Mr Broccolis visiting our homes. I've made a wanted poster to share around town, lets bring them to justice!

Don’t you just wonder how he can be both the little terror and then the sweet slumbering cuddly sheltie?
I read a book once called the
Monks of new Skete. Their theory was to place several items on the floor within your view and allow the dog to make the right choice by picking the appropriate toy. You might put down a chew toy, doll, sock, towel, etc.
You act like you are reading the paper or a book. When you see them going after the inappropriate item you say NO and offer the chew toy.
This worked perfectly for my first and second sheltie. Liam on the other hand is a work in progress. I no longer can give him plush toys. He had chewed off ears, legs, etc! I was so scared he would end up with a blockage!
He goes after fabric on chairs and wood moldings too! So, I am right there with you having a Liam the Terrible! Monty and Liam I am sure are plotting their next move to trip us up!!!

I'm sorry, Darren, but I'm with Wendy. This is hilarious. And little Monty is too too cute and innocent looking. I wouldn't be able to stay mad at him either! This little guy is so lucky to have landed with you. He's just looking for a Carrot Lady to go with Broccoli Man.....

I think it's better that Willow and Monty never meet as I fear the training would go the other way and Willow will join the broccoli gang and begin a wave of destruction...

OMG I'm on the floor here laughing. I love your wanted poster, Darren! And yes, Mr. Broccoli makes visits here as well - last major damage was a paperback book I was reading, shredded by Mr. Elijah Ray. SIGH.

Darren, have you considered opening a charity hospital and rehab center for those unfortunate souls who have lost limbs to that serial chewer, The Dreaded Monty Man? But he sure does look sweet when asleep.
