What you're about to see is not a product of Elka, but rather a dog whose identity (and whose owner's identity) will remain protected.
The book in question, for it was a book, was from 1929, and was essentially sheet music with cardboard covers, on how to play the Ukelele.

I do apologize for the quality of the photos; first, I took them with my phone, and second, I couldn't remove what was left of the book from the manilla envelope to do so.
It is now, quite literally, a pile of shredded pages. Originally, the book cost 50 cents. There's been some inflation, though, so the owner will pay a bit more than that. Not too much. But I do hope this owner is sure to place books out of doggie reach in the future!
Have a great Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
You too!
DeleteUh oh...it sounds like someone might be in trouble. I hope the cost of the book wasn't too much more than 50 cents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday

It wasn't unreasonable! Luckily, the book was kind of in falling-apart shape anyway, so it's not like an archival quality antique got shredded.
DeleteAh well... not good!
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised to learn that what was in the envelope used to be a book!
DeleteLOL luckily our doggies have not munched any books or magazines...yet.
ReplyDeleteSame here, knock wood!
DeleteThough Elka will shred a napkin or paper towel, given the chance.
Uh,oh! That's not good! I'm not going to let Fred see this post, it just may give him ideas! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHe's already a laundry thief ;)
DeleteRooo I've chewed a couple of library books - they taste fab - but then I have to use all of my pocket money to replace them! *Waggy tail*
ReplyDeleteIt happens, once in awhile! I think a lot of people eat while reading, so they must have the memory of food in the pages!
DeleteOh no, that does not look good.
ReplyDeleteNope, it's one of the worst I've seen.
DeleteI had an Old English Sheepdog who specialized in chewing only the books I used to teach classes. It was a little embarrassing to bring books in baggies until I could replace them.
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny. I wonder what seemed so different about those books?
DeleteToo funny! No ukelele playing for that family!
ReplyDeleteThe critic has spoken!
DeleteOh dear, wonder who did it ;)
ReplyDeleteSlobbers
I have a suspicion, but you know how that goes....
DeleteAre you sure it wasn't Elka? Some DNA testing will have to be done methinks.
ReplyDeleteNo ukelele in this house! We have nothing to hide ;)
DeleteBooks are so yummy. We've lost a few library books to dogicide and nearly my entire cookbook collection. :(
ReplyDeleteOh no, not the cookbooks!
DeleteHmmm... I wonder if it was tasty. ;)
ReplyDeleteWoofs & huggies, <3

Maybe it's the book glue that gets their attention? I really don't know.
DeleteOh wow, now that's quite a conundrum! Never had a pup do that - maybe I should consider myself luck! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely consider myself lucky! I don't have to sweep the house for paper products every time I leave Elka unsupervised.
