The Carpet

We have a dartboard downstairs in our entertainment/fun room/man cave area. We marked it off with a strip of tape so all the boys would be know where to stand. We had to do this because of all the 'heated debates' we were having about the dartboard and where to stand.

We have had the dartboard well before Sydney. So the tape had been down on the carpet for awhile. Therefore, it was a complete surprise when we found Sydney chewing on the tape. Of course, we scolded her but we screwed up. We didn't remove the tape.

The next day, we find Sydney chewing on the tape again. This time, however, she had managed to tear a slight hole in the carpet. Now, granted, I have not liked the carpet since we moved. However, we were waiting until we got some other projects done around the house before we got new carpet. The hole wasn't too bad. So we decided to leave it, then, and take up the tape.

Sydney didn't bother it any more. We were working on other projects around the house so the holy carpet remained.

Then we get Addy and we are definitely not replacing the carpet with new puppy in the house. But we really don't think anything of the hole, we are more worried about housebreaking Addy. Big Mistake. Addy took the hole and ran with it. Literally. She some how was able to pick up one of the piece of the carpet and manage to rip it up. Much like a run in pantyhose. Instead of having a half inch hole, we now have a 5 foot long run in the carpet. Here is what it te carpet currently likes:


As I was trying to take the picture, the ham, Sydney wanted her picture taking too. Here she is at the scene of the crime.
