Have you ever owned a dog...

Yep along time ago. I don't own any pets anymore!!

We had a dog when I was young that ate the carpet off the steps. Yes ATE the CARPET!

Oh yes, we had a fantastic leather corner sectional. My daughter brought her chihauhau to our house and left him. She wasn't able to care for him. The next morning he had completely eaten a huge hole in one seat of the sectional. It had to be discarded. He proceeded to eat a pair of my leather mules and 2 pairs of Birks. We still have the boy, but he does not eat our things anymore. We kept him kenneled for a while. Only let him out if we were right with him. Now he doesn't do this. Knock on WOOD.

OH yes

I've owned (and still do!) cats who've damaged furniture. Does that count? :-)

My dog likes to destory my clothes its a pain but I love him.

I did a long time ago.  I don't have that dog anymore.  I got the dog, ended up going to work.  The dog was bored and lonely and started destroying everything.  I gave him to an older woman who could spend more time with him.

Yep, that's part of having a puppy, and that is why training and obedience are so important. It's like redirecting for dogs.

Yep, I have 4 and they love chewing up stuff. My rat terrier- Scooter is blankie boy, he holds the blanket on our bed in his mouth to go to sleep. Then, ends up chewing holes in it.
