Carpets...

It began in the corners.  First a tiny nibble – even when my human was in the room.  I’m referring of course, to the FG chewing the carpet in the dining room.  She caught him a couple of times, shouted “No,” and stopped the damage.  However…

Sunday after the turkey dinner and after the maimed cat was found, my human’s mother and sister went home.  My human went into the bedroom to change, putting on her fuzzy robe – the one the FG likes to nibble on while she is eating breakfast.  She MIGHT have been out of the room 10 minutes. And when she came back, she found the carpet in the dining room askew on one end.  The label under the carpet was shredded and an edge had evidence of a lovely bite sized hole.  While examining the damage, the FG was calmly lying on his dog bed, with a look of innocence on his face.  Einstein and I had positioned ourselves on the other side of the room – we didn’t want to be implicated in this one.  Besides, Einstein was already in the proverbial dog house for the tattered cat.   And the tough thing for humans  in this instance is the fact that  – you KNOW who the obvious culprit is – like with the cat.   BUT it really COULD have been any one of us in this situation.  Not as likely – but in a court of law, she would have a hard time proving it beyond a reasonable doubt.  Agh – the joys of living in a multiple dog household.

So now my human has to watch him ALL the time.  Or he is back in the pony sized crate if she is not in the room.

She of course, started looking at carpets on-line again. Not that there is ANY point in getting one right now.  The current damage is NOT that bad.  Nothing some magic marker won’t cure.  Wonder if you can get carpets made of metal…..

I must say, it sure is nice not being the one in trouble for a change. Yes.  Life is good.

Have a good one! Peace and paws up!
