I can relate to that!  Imagine this scene....  On June 21, 2003, I 
arrive home from an outing-that-could-not-be-avoided, eagerly 
anticipating the arrival of my copy of OoP from amazon.com, only to 
discover that Fed Ex has come while I was out and delivered the book 
to my eight-month old labrador puppy!  Arrrrgggh!!!  The anguish!!!  
The box was ripped to shreads and the book was strewn across the 
yard.  Fortunately, he had only chewed off the covers and title pages 
and gnawed on the binding for awhile, (very considerately) leaving 
the text of the book intact, so that I could begin reading 
immediately (which, of course, I did.)

Elle (my dog's name is Chap and he may be interested in starting an 
HP discussion group for dogs with Niki--HPfD anyone?? Woof!)
