K2: The Dog Ate My Part

[jperelst]

How embarrassing is this?
 
As I was working on the KPA100 last night, the EL5146CN op-amp (a small 8-pin IC) slipped out of my fingers and fell to the floor - right in front of the idiot lab/pit mix who promptly decided to taste it.  She didn't swallow it (fortunately), but it's well chewed and I have to order a replacement from Elecraft.
 
Why me?

Oh, that is tooo funny.  I've had 3 labs.  It's a good thing God made them cute because they sure are stupid! (said in loving jest).

Actually, you might have been better off if she HAD swallowed it.  Dogs don't chew.  You could have just waited a day or so and retrieved it from the yard and it would have had no chew marks.  I'm sure she'd have delivered her package faster than the replacement would arrive through UPS.  UPS will put the package on the front porch though.  If your dog did that, she'd probably hear "bad dog".

But Jon, at least the glass didn't break. Course.... if it would have been a tube, she might have licked the number off the side.....or worse, eaten it....

Our Temple Cat likes SMD parts, but only those types that have lots of legs.
She's not interested in inexpensive SMD capacitors/ resistors, leaves those
for the dogs.

Jon,

It's that "pit" mix that is your problem.  A purebred lab (or better yet, a
bullmastiff like I have) would have whipped out a soldering iron and
installed it for you!  Hi.
