Mrs Finalyson, a health care worker, even had to fork out for a new sofa after the troublesome twosome chewed through all the cushions – leaving the family living room swamped in feathers

Mrs Finalyson, 47, a health care worker, even had to fork out for a new sofa after the troublesome twosome chewed through all the cushions – leaving the family living room swamped in feathers.

She said: ‘They eat anything they can so we never know what’s next on their list, we joke they must be the most mischievous pooches in the country.

‘We have come home to countless items destroyed, including a trampoline I bought myself to keep fit.

‘I’ve lost count of how many shoes they’ve eaten; hundreds have been chewed up over the years.

‘On one occasion Kenny ate a perfume bottle lid and it cost us £2,000 to have it removed, the bottle has never been found.

‘I remember the sofa destruction like it was yesterday, my husband sent me a picture and I honestly thought he had bought a new rug for our lounge.

‘I zoomed in and saw their silly little faces and realised that what I was looking at was my sofa, in bits.

‘Luckily my husband cleaned it up, he was laughing his head off and was just annoyed that he didn’t have it on camera.

‘They have a dog walker when we’re at work and she sends me pictures of their walks, Jimmy always picks one stick and guards it with his life.

Mrs Finalyson said the dogs will even wreak havoc when she and her husband are watching. Above: Mrs Finalyson tries to take a sock from Jimmy

‘Kenny won’t even let me kiss my husband goodnight, as soon as I lean in Kenny pops up out of nowhere and sits on his face.’

Kenny and Jimmy have been up to no good for years, they have eaten a trampoline, shoes, perfume bottles, clothes and anything else they can get their gnashers on when nobody is looking.

Mr Finalyson, 46, said: ‘They don’t only do it when nobody is around, I can be in the garden and they’ll start digging it up in front of me.

Despite the many household items Kenny and Jimmy have destroyed, Rachel and Barry keep forgiving them because they are not viscous or malicious. Above: A pair of slippers which were ruined by Kenny 

‘You can’t help but laugh, the look on their faces when they get caught has us in hysterics but we are more careful now about where we place things and we discipline them when they take it too far.’

Another time, Jimmy ate some faux diamond jewellery and Mrs Finalyson only found out when he decided to go to the toilet in the garden later on in the day. 

Mrs Finalyson said: ‘We had no idea they had eaten them, but when we went to clean up the garden the mess was sparkling so we knew they had been up to their tricks again.

The dogs just want to chew whatever they see so Mrs Finalyson makes sure anything really valuable is out of reach

Mrs Finalyson said the Kenny and Jimmy calmed down after she and her husband made sure they knew that what they were doing was wrong

Despite the many household items Kenny and Jimmy have destroyed, Rachel and Barry keep forgiving them because they are not viscous or malicious.

They just want to chew whatever they see so Mrs Finalyson makes sure anything really valuable is out of reach.

She said: ‘After the sofa incident we got serious about it and have started to make sure the dogs know what they’re doing is wrong so they’ve calmed down a little, but there’s still a long way to go and who knows what’s going to be next.’

Mrs Finalyson added: ‘To be honest, with all of the space in the land that surrounds our garden they have plenty of room to let off steam, and Jimmy is to busy trying to flirt with a deer that has started roaming around our fence to care anymore.

‘They may well be the most destructive pair of dogs in the country, but they’re also the funniest, happiest dogs we could have ever wished for and you can’t fault their commitment to destruction.’
