    ROFLMAO!!! so true!
    Sorry about your shorts and chamois. I've not worked with them and none of my shorts have them so I don't know what to tell you to do.
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    Did you charge them?

    If so, see if your card provides purchase protection! This advise was give to me on this very board about this time last year when my brand new Sugar knickers were trashed in a crash. I had ordered mine online with my AmEx and sure enough, they have that type of program and reimbursed me, no questions asked!

    Well, I know know whose cats you are talking about. Cats destroy things just as much as dogs, and usually in a terrible way. They also throw up. I had both, but I am sticking with dogs

    Anyway, back to the topic. You will have to hand wash them as long as you can stand it. Patching the fabric is not a good idea. You may risk rubbing, and other unpleasant results. Just think that your dog approves of a purchase, that's why she ate you knickers. Don't scold the poor thing, it has no idea what happened. They smelled like you and she simply expressed her love this way. It may hurt to hear this, but you may need a new pair.

    Oooooh, man....I've lost about 3 pairs of shorts this way. My Mayah (dearest doggie) knows it's wrong, but does it anyway. So I just make sure now that I keep all of my cycling stuff out of reach of her jowls.

    She's also chewed a semi-new pair of Carnac road shoes. THAT she nearly lost her life for (no, not really....she just REEEEEALLY was in trouble that time). So, needless to say, my still-intact Sidi's are kept well away.

    Dogs....they chew, but still we love them.

    I keep thinking that one day I am gonna leave my DH's Pearl Izumi's on the floor where he so carelessly deposits them after a ride, so that my dear sweet boxer can drag them outside, through our very sandy back yard, and proceed to render them useless, before dragging them back in the house along with about 2 cups of sand.

    How do I know this will happen?? Luckily not from experience with expensive bike shorts, but from experience with Fruit of the Loom.

    May be TMI but I certainly can relate to your love of the furry kind in letting them live.

    I have three cats and I have to agree they do ruin things! I have a siemese that when she get's bored she gets into things. She really likes to bring things of mine from around the house and drop them in the toilets. And let's not forget they like to claw up furniture. of coarse I did have a dog once who hated fireworks. We had to knock him out on 4th of july and New years. One year the drugs didn't work and we came home to our kitchen table that had been chewed to bit's.

    cross my fingers I have cats whose worst damage is hairballs and cat hair everywhere.

    i give them lots of stuff to sharpen claws on and they are happy cats.
    I guess some of my foster kittens put tiny little needle marks from their baby teeth on the edges of some papers... nothing like a dog who would eat the whole page!
