or paper towels or whatever else might be down in your space to shred and make a mess and walk away.  Trixie knows this is a NO NO, but she can't seem to help herself and with 3 children around she gets plenty of shredding activity.

Same here!!! Any paper she finds, she shreds!!

LOL Jody learned to keep her undies picked up Trix was shredding those as well.  I'm lucky though because she only shreds and doesn't eat the stuff.

HAHAHA...Toby is the shredding machine. He will shred klenex's, Toliet paper(he grabbed a whole roll the other day), papertowels, newspaper, he love the ads from the paper, envelopes.  We lifted up the bed the other night and found his secret spot for shredding. He loves to shred my husbands socks and underwear. I have told him to keep them off the ground but he got around 5-10 socks. So we will have to go and buy new ones but that is ok he needed them.

Lucy only seems to be drawn to Kleenex---straight out of the box.  She is a professional confetti-maker with these things.  Bubble-wrap scares her to death, though, so I might have to wrap the Kleenex boxes in bubble wrap to keep them intact.

Hmm, bubble wrapping the kleenex box to keep rascally ratties away...you may be on to something there, Paul. 

The other night, I caught Molly coming out of my bedroom with a full box of Kleenex.  I asked her what she had, and she turned her head away from me so that her body was blocking the box from sight.  She knows it's a no-no, but she just can't help herself!  Man, what a mess that would have been!  And guess who would've had to clean that up?!

To Funny Chase loves paper napkins and Towels.. You see a napkin ripped to pieces and I ask him what did you do, he gives me this looks as to say I could not help myself Dad, I just had to do it.

When we catch him trying to sneak one off, I tell him Drop it and it funny to watch him try to spit out the napkin after he has been caught..

Rat Terriers you got to love them

Tom

yes Tank brings the toilet roll behind the couch and obliterates it.. .. . lol

My brother's min pin knows how to step on the pedal and get the tissues out...

Jackson steals any and every type of paper product possible as well as laundry dryer sheets. He's into everything nasty including underware and stuff from the bathroom trashcans. He's getting better at giving the stuff up...I stopped giving him treats when he gave up whatever he had, so maybe he'll get the message now, lol

I think ratties should come with a disclaimer tag that they have a fettish for shredding tissues, paper towels, unrolling the toliet paper, both mine love to shred tissues. I have to make sure that when we go out and they are going to be Home Alone that all the tissue boxes are out of reach for them. If not, one pulls them out of the box and parlays it down to the other and that one shreds. They both know how to get the tissue out of the box with their nose and this wasn't a trick that was taught, they just knew. So it has to be part of their genes.
