On a related note, in high school, my dog got hold of my nearly new HP-48GX; I wasn't so fortunate as you, as she bit right through the display, shattering it. Figuring dog bites weren't covered under warranty, I sent the calculator — which had obvious "puncture wounds" through the display — off to HP Corvallis, with a note explaining the cause of the damage, and requesting a repair estimate for the damage. A week or so later, I received a response — in the form of a brand new 48GX in retail packaging, provided at no charge. Which, as expected, still works today (though these days, I rarely use any of my [embarrassingly many, including two revisions of HP-35] HP calculators other than my pair of 15Cs; though I do also have a 16C at my desk which I use on a semi-regular basis).
