Since Bailey's first birthday was soon approaching, we decided to start weaning her from her kennel. We left her out for small increments for a while and then started leaving her out (in the house) all day while we were at work. This went very well for the first few days. But, by about day five, Bailey unleashed her fury. On March 4, Garth's birthday, we came home to this....
This is Bailey sitting next to what's left of our BRAND NEW area rug. We had purchased the rug a couple weeks earlier and she hadn't even considered chewing on it. But, it turns out she was fooling us all along and was just waiting for the right moment to go into "destroyer mode." What a way to wish Garth a Happy Birthday!
Here's what's left of the rug....
And, if destroying the rug weren't enough, she also chewed a crater in our wall!!! How she ate through dry wall is beyond us. Needless to say, "Bailey, the Destructor" is back in her kennel for a while!

I had lab, also named Bailey, for a BRIEF period. I came home one day to find he had chewed through 3 separate outdoor hoses and a pair of lawn chairs. Had to smile at your Bailey eating a hole in the wall. Our Bailey also chewed a quite large hole in our redwood privacy fence! So happy to visit your blog! Janice S.
Madelyn has not chewed through any carpet or walls. Maybe it is time you consider a different type of family addition. Just saying...
