A couple of weeks ago I had the wood trim around my sliding glass door replaced.  Zoe had eaten it.  This is a large piece of solid oak that she ate.  While they were replacing that I had them go ahead and put in a new door and screen.  My door is very oversized and all of this had to be special ordered and it cost a LOT of money.  I don't plan on ever having to replace this door or oak trim ever again.  Zoe has decided that to get my attention to come in the door she is going to scratch on the screen.  She is making me so angry.  She is going to rip that screen.  I know that just a screen to replace isn't that expensive but I don't want to do it.  I've tried ignoring her so that she will realize that she can't come in by scratching on the screen but she never gives up.  She scratches non-stop.

Another thing, ever since we got the fence fixed Zoe won't go to the bathroom out there.  If she does go she doesn't go in the grass she goes on the patio.  What's that all about.  The fence is in the exact same spot and looks exactly the same as it used to.  She only pee's or poo's now on our walks or if she can't hold it, in the house, or in her cage.  Why is she like this?  Why can't she just be normal about going to the bathroom? 

She has eaten a whole in the box springs, she eats all of the kids toys, she eats the furniture, she eats the base boards, she eats the carpet, she eats the doors and door frames, and she ate my husbands new t.v. stand that he bought special for his new HDTV. She ate the whole bottom off of it.  I took her to daycare today.  I feel so bad about getting onto her all day or making her stay crated or in the big cage I got for her but I don't know what else to do.  She's unbeilevable.  Supposedly beagles are like this and she'll grow out of it around 2.  I have 1 year left.  I dropped 4 of the dogs off at daycare today and I told them I would pick up 3 around 4 and I would be back for Zoe in a year.
