It's been a while since I've spent much time on here since we've been living with the in-laws, waiting to be able to move into our new house but I thought I'd post this and hopefully get some input.
Finnigan is 1 year and 8 months now and he's been such a well behaved boy. When we were in our apartment he stopped pottying inside, only chewed maybe 2 or 3 things his whole life and did fine when left uncrated and alone.
For the last month we've been living at my in-laws and he's been good there too. He dribbled a few times the first week but that was it. All of a sudden just in this past week he's started acting up. We came home one night and he had torn up my husband's Grandma's bible she'd loaned him for a class and he'd left the bed. Tore both covers off and shredded and bunch of pages (and I'm sure at some of it). Two nights later we came home and he had torn/eaten an envelope on the bed. The next night it was those paint swatches from the hardware store and last night it was a packet of papers that was stapled together (luckily he didn't swallow the staple). I don't get it. It's always on the bed that he chews it and he knows it's wrong. He'll look guilty then when you walk in and see it then look at him he has his ears way back, his eyes as droopy as they can get and he's crouched down with one paw raised like if you blew at him he'd fall over.
He could have chewed a million books and papers at our apartment but he never touched them so why is he doing it now? My husband thinks he's mad at us for something.
Any ideas as to what's going on and what the best way is to correct the problem?
