That couch is peak dog chaos, but honestly I've had worse. Came home from work once to my living room carpeted in foam and feathers, the entire sofa reduced to a skeleton of springs. Took two weekends, a shop vac, and a new couch cushion to make it livable again. Cost me more money and therapy than I care to admit.
Worst single incident was him eating a pair of hiking boots and a rubber ball in one afternoon, which led to an intestinal blockage and an emergency vet bill that made me furious and bawling at the same time. Kid of a dumb, expensive lesson: supervise, train, and give toys that actually occupy them. I love the little menace, but no, I do not miss that couch.
