O M G . . . im speechless.
So I took a half day at work today and just got home about 15 minutes ago. I greet the dogs and let them out to potty. I get the mail, bring up my laptop from the car and go to my bedroom to take off my contacts.
THIS IS WHAT I SEE...
And I don't know who did it. Its about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. UGH! Now I definately have to get new carpet. FAKKK!!!

Well, that's gonna be difficult to cover up. I know you're pissed, but I wonder if the dogs where like...
'Shit, what do we do? Do you think she'll notice? Let's pretend it wasn't us.' *eyes darting left and right, looking for a way out*
My counters are pretty high, so he wouldn't be able to jump up on them. The only thing I would worry about is maybe the knobs on the drawers or cabinets. Which I don't care much about. I don't know what do you think...?
The knobs are stainless steel, so im not sure if he would be too interested in chewing that. Otherwise, there's really nothing in there at his reach. Its kind of a small space though.
Maui and Kaia chewed our cabinets in our condo's kitchen. Maui kept being destructive till about 14 months.
We crate our dogs till they are 2 years, if you think about it that is not very much of their lives. You shouldn't feel bad as long as you give them lots of exercise and a walk in the AM.
Ninja should really be getting at least 90 minutes of walks a day at his age, plus plenty of play sessions with Portia and you guys. A young Shiba can never be tired enough.
I'd crate him when gone, but that's just me. He will just sleep, it's not a big deal.
Yea, Ninja needs longer walks. I personally think the kitchen is fine Keigo and Mika aren't destructive when it comes to furniture. Actually, Mika isn't destructive at all - except when she had really bad separation anxiety, than she would chew on the walls and the speaker cables. We keep them in the shop when we're away because Keigo loved destroying bath mats, socks, towels.
We don't leave them in the house, but when Keigo does get a hold of something, he will take it and lick, but not tear and destroy.
Romi, I've got one that looks a lot like that but a different color! I bought a rug to put over it eventually, but in the meantime, I put red cayenne pepper on it, he took one sniff and that was the end of that. The cayenne pepper vacumms right up. I've also been told by a Shiba rescuer that white pepper works, I wanted it to sting a bit.
Here's mine! AHAHAHA All you can do is laugh about it. If you have spare carpet somewhere you might be able to wash it until it resembles the wear of what is down, and glue a chunk in there. I haven't tried it but I'm going too. Either way, it has to be new carpet eventually.
