True story, we went to the Asheville area for Spring Break 2017. We stayed in a really nice three bedroom VRBO with hot tub, pool table, foosball table, and all kinds of cool stuff.. It was the only vacation that we brought our dog on that wasn't a visit to see family.
One day, we left our dog crated. I'm not sure why we did, I guess we were going somewhere that dogs weren't invited. I usually am the one handling the dog, but for some reason my wife did it that day, and set up the crate a little too close to the "antique" chair that adorned the living room. I seem to remember it was a simple small chair, not the main recliner. When we came back, the "antique" chair had been torn up by our dog, reaching his mouth through the crate.
We debated whether to try to hide the evidence and deny responsibility or to tell the truth and accept the consequences. We decided on the latter. After all, how much was the crappy old chair worth anyway?
Well, I don't know what the chair was worth, but the repair was $900. At least that's what the owner demanded from us.
Did I fail to mention the VRBO was in Swannanoa, NC? I'll be watching news footage for evidence of that fucking chair floating down the river.
RIP Theo, sorry we didn't bring you on any family vacations after that.
