This is typical Jefferson.  He gets on the couch, works the pillow into a good configuration for chewing, and then goes to town.
He was actually nursing on the pillow a few minutes before I took the picture.

He is so adorable.  He looks mischievious (sp.?).

Does he have any of his own soft toys to chew or is it better if it belongs to you?  My golden lives for kleenex.  I will catch her going into the garbage to get them so she can suck and chew and strew them all throughout the house.

Jefferson's behavior is qualitatively different from getting into the trash to get kleenex or chewing up books.  The blanket sucking is a stereotypy or compulsive behavior, the others are not.

Peek Hi.  I just read your post on s.u.c.k.i.n.g blankets.  My Great Dane Caesar does the SAME EXACT THING only with a microfleece blanket (or if it is in the wash, sometimes my cloths).  

He will grab the blanket and soak it with slobber holding it in his mouth and s.u.c.k.i.n.g on it like a great big pacifier until he falls asleep every night.  I don't like it; but, my husband thinks it's cute.  Grrrr.  I'm terrified some day he is going to eat some of it.  It's like his blankey or something.  LOL  I thought I had the only dog that done that.
