Funny you mention this as my dog always comes running to me when I start hand sanding horn scales. But when I do offer the dog a whiff of the scales she's not interested at all of running away and chewing them up. Must be the smell in the air or something. Maybe it's the same for dogs as catnip is for cats.

Same thing happened to me once with my roommate's puppy and a mint-ish puma case (the wood kind with silver emblem). I was livid, but you can't blame the dog. My fault for leaving it out.

That reminds me of a mate who's dog used to eat his socks!

He'd do a load of washing and then come downstairs in the morning to find that he had no socks and one very fat dog.

Apparently he used to get them all back 24 hours later...! But they did need washing again by that point..! Hehe!

I thought about this thread last night as I was honing up a W&B I had just rescaled in some pink ivory. My bird, Django a meyer's parrot, kept running down my arm trying to chew on the new scales. Apparently as intelligent as he is "that is sharp" still does not translate.

Rofl! Too funny Stu!

Yep Brad, dogs do that and the pet shops do sell similar treats for dogs. I read this thread last night and all day thought about my dogs feasting on my strops. Got home from work tonight and the dogs got into something that ran right through them. I ran straight to my strops but all was fine. Guess I'll close the door to my office for now on. That's where I hang my strops.

See, I knew my dog loved the horn, its my own fault for leaving them out (albeit in a crazy difficult place to grab) on the counter in the kitchen...

Its funny..whenever I am working horn my dog is RIGHT there... He stands there, sneaking licks of the sandpaper...or the dusty scales... LOL...


I probably started the wholel thing by giving him a piece of scrap a few months ago. I was just asking for it!


Here is the culprit -- Strider, the nova scotia duck tolling retriever:

Ouch! So, how soon can we expect to see pictures of the replacements ? You know, the dog bone scales?
