Let your pet do the shredding!

I think my shredder is dying. It had trouble munching through an envelope this morning, both going forward and in reverse. Ugh! I don't want to buy a new one. I recently saw somewhere that there's a pair of scissors now that will do a shred type of cut. That's cool. I also heard on the radio the other day something about having a pet shredder. Have you heard about this? Evidently your pet hamster, or such, is somehow involved in the shredding (can't remember exactly how) and can create its own bedding in the process. Rather than going to that extreme (not sure my incredibly spoiled Maltese would take kindly to any type of forced labor), I suppose I can always give our private shredables to hubby who "likes make big fire and watch grow" -- I guess it's a man thing. Anyway, gotta safeguard against identity theft, so I suppose I'll be out looking at shredders this weekend. I wonder how expensive goats are these days . . .
