Toilet fixed. One trip to Ace. The only thing I can't figure out is how my dog removed the tank top, removed the flapper, chewed the crap out of it, replaced it and put the top back on.

Always remember this golden rule to plumbing,
Never under tighten and never over tighten a fitting. How do you know if you did it correctly? You don't have water damage months later.
Hmmmm. Must have been your dog that chewed off the end of the down pipe from our bathroom sink. Looked like the drain monster had been gnawing on it.
BTW, this was 57 year old plumbing and every time I fixed one leak another sprung up. I gave up and called the plumber. He said that wasn't unusual on stuff that old. Plumbing just isn't one of my talents.

"There are no hardware stores at sea."
IOW, if you have a device on board, you also have a full set of spares for the device.
Same applies to your abode.
Saves lots of extra trips to the hardware store.

An example on a boat is a head pump.
Repairing a head on a boat makes changing out a toilet on land feel like a form of fun entertainment.

A-Men, Brudder!
My garage is full of spares..... I still end up at the hardware looing for that special fit...... I guess that is why they have life boats? john
