Some dogs are adorable, even when they're destructive.  Lexi is not one of those dogs.  She's caused thousands of dollars in damage to our house during thunderstorms and fireworks, and yet she doesn't do anything cute to redeem herself.

There's no randomness or cuteness involved when Lexi destroys, it's just destruction of what's in front of her.  She's gone through walls, doors, fences and anything else that's presented an obstacle when she freaks out.

Why couldn't I have a dog with a cute phobia, one that only arises when a door needs to be entered.  This dog is neurotic, but it's adorable.  He's not tearing up their house to get through that door, he's just using his dog brain for the best solution available.  Lexi would have taken a shortcut through drywall and fiberglass.
