Long story short: My wife and I recently assumed ownership of a dog that wasn't being cared for by her previous owner. She's friendly, loving, healthy and generally well-behaved.

The one problem we've had is that she loves to chew up her bedding. She has chew toys and stuff like that, but anything we put out for her to sleep on gets devoured. There are a lot of things our garage and backyard that she could be chewing on (bags of grass-patch for the yard, the bag on my lawnmower, etc.) but she's good about that. It's just the bedding.

Neither of us has ever owned a dog before, so we'd be happy for any suggestions you may have.
