My dog is very bad. :] Options

[*Libertie*]

1. He chews pretty much everything in sight. The list keeps growing:
- Bluetooth headset ($80)
- ipod earbuds (2nd gen - luckily a friend had a spare)
- Apple remote ($30)
- charger for my cell phone ($20)
- Macbook power adapter ($80)
- my spare set of earbuds that I was using until I could get another pair of white ones (I ended up getting the spare ipod earbuds from my friend)
- my favorite pair of shoes ($40)
- power cord for my mom's mirror she has hanging in the kitchen (not replaceable )
..As you can see, this isn't cheap shit. I'm getting a little upset here.

2. THE DAMN DOG IS STILL NOT HOUSEBROKEN. I swear to god he pees just about everywhere he can, I'm constantly cleaning up after him. You let him outside, he's out there forEVER and then he comes back in and does his business on the floor again.

3. Okay I know this isn't his fault, but he sheds everywhere. I just vacuumed the rug but tomorrow it'll be covered in dog hair again.

Would it be too much to ask for my mom to just get rid of him? I just don't much care for dogs (except for one puppy who lives in Tulsa) and I don't have the patience to deal with him destroying everything I own. Also, before you tell me to put my stuff up, all I have is a desk to put my stuff on, I don't even have a room. I sleep on the couch. No matter where I put it, he climbs up and manages to destroy it somehow.

He's crate-trained. I bought him a crate at Wal-Mart, the sign said "Pet Shelters" which made me feel a lot better about buying a prison for my dog, but anyway. I'm the only person in the entire house that has the heart to make him stay in the crate while we're all out. Everyone else just lets him run around the house. This is getting frustrating.
