Teething Puppies Can Not Chew on Audiobooks
This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Coupons.com. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.
Anyone that brings a new puppy into their home or any dog under 6 months knows that anything that puppy can get a hold of will get chewed on. This is especially true of any item that helps alleviate the pain for a teething puppy growing in new teeth which pretty much means anything with a little give that is not hard on the initial curiosity bite is fair game. I am pretty sure that is what happened to me when Davinia was a puppy. I left a book I was reading in bed while I went to go get ready or work. When I got back to the room to put the book in my purse to read on the subway on the way to work. The end of the book had been shredded and there was Davinia looking all happy next to it. Teething puppy Davinia didn’t ever really get into much but there was something about that book that day that as too tempting to pass up. Thank goodness it was a favorite book of mine one that I had read multiple times over the years and so I knew the ending. But it taught me a lesson. Don’t leave a book on the bed if I want to finish it.
Before Indiana made it to our house as a 9 week old little ball of fur she had eaten her first book. From what I understand it was the entire book that the teething puppy destroyed but I never got the full story or why she was left along with a bookshelf full of books at that age. I knew it would be a while before a book would be safe from a teething puppy. Even the books in our apartment had to be puppy proof meaning the entire bottom shelf had to remain empty!
To this day Davinia and Indiana are not exactly the best book buddies. They love to get to sit in my lap while I read but they don’t want me to turn the page or want me to close the book and give them some attention. It might be cute once in a while that they literally put their paws down that I need to pay attention to them and not the book. Of course it is difficult to read very much that way – trust me they did it to me the entire time I was studying for my MBA. When they were ready for attention they would stick their paw or their nose in the book and that would be the end of me reading for the moment. They love watching tv with me because I don’t need to turn the page or put the book on them while I am trying to read. I can rub their tummies or rub their heads while watching tv. The same is true of audiobooks.
With audiobooks via Audible we can literally listen anywhere. From picking apples in the orchard to resting on the couch on a Sunday morning to relaxing in the sun Audible allows us to take our book anywhere we go. Driving to grandma and grandpa’s, flying on the plane on our way to a new adventure, or even in bed at night we can listen together while I rub their tummies. They will fall asleep and I get to hear a great book. We could even listen to the book while cleaning the house or out on a walk.

They are old ladies now so we don’t have to worry about that anymore. But yes a puppy could get a hold of anything but thank goodness I haven’ heard of too many puppies eating the computer or laptop or smartphone!

Audio books come in really handy on long car rides! We have listened to a lot of them!
I love audio books when I take my road trips! I haven’t tried Audible yet, but that’s the obvious next step.

My husband loves audio book. I prefer actual books, though.
Your dogs are so cute, they model the earphones well! That said, my dog is 4 and still chews everything so books aren’t necessarily safe after puppyhood! Listening to audiobooks is a great idea when you have pups and also when you have young children because you can listen hands free!

How cute! The pictures are adorable! I like audio books because you can easily carry hundreds of books with you, without actually carrying a hundred books LOL.
My husband got me hooked on audiobooks when we were travelling between cities. Those long road trips practically fly by when you’re listening to an audio book. All the better if you get them for free 🙂 Great post.
My husband listens to audio books everyday to and from work. We listen to them in our homeschooling well.

I really love this take on why audiobooks are great. When my little guy was a puppy, he ate one of my favorite books. I wasn’t overly upset, because I was the one who left it within reach.

My Grandma used to be such a big reader, I mean huge… then her eyes went bad and she got super-depressed… Audio books really, really helped her through that rough time. Now my MIL loves to put these books on while she drives, says they soothe her 🙂
I haven’t listed to audio books in years, but it would be so handy on road trips for sure! Those photos are adorable by the way! lol

With two kids, I may never read a book again… I think I will look into this! We also go on long drives to doctors and I think having a good book to listen to might make it less painful!

Our cats are really bad about chewing on things, or worse, laying right on top of the book you are trying to read. Audiobooks are definitely great at avoiding that problem!
I love audio books for road trips! We just listened to The Fault in Our Stars on my last trip!

We have two cats and a dog and luckily none of them liked to chew on our stuff. I love audio books. Such an interesting way to read.
I have to look into Audible. Sounds like a great service and how cute is that puppy??
I’ve been thinking about trying books on audio. I love books so much, and I have never tried it this way. I’m sure it’s great for trips!
Bentley ate my son’s yearbook when he was a puppy. I also cleared all the books from the bottom shelves. He DID eat my cell phone and I called the phone company to explain that my dog ate my phone. I wrote a post about it a few months ago with the title of the answer I received, “We don’t have a code for that!” LOL!
