[quote=Anonymous]What in the world did you have in your house that a puppy could damage to the tune of $7000? Is it a fancy couch? How could a puppy completely destroy a couch? If it's really wrecked, just replace it with something more reasonably priced. Whatever your son's role, the real issue seems to be having a house full of very expensive things, a puppy, and a soon-to-be teenager. If you punish your son over this you're giving him a very powerful lesson that you value things over people. The proper response would be for him to help out with whatever labor is involved in replacing the item, and then to work with him on making sure it doesn't happen again.[/quote]
