Ugh so this weekend I went to new jersey for my uncles birthday party, so my fiance was home with Scarlet and the cat..Well on the 2nd day he tells me that Scarlet [in her attempt to try and get out of her crate] had rubbed the corners of the crate so hard against the wall that it made 2 huge indents...i'm thinking oh great there goes our security deposit..but he tells me not to worry it doesnt look like something a little spackle wont fix..So i think sweet ! our security deposit is safe...ohh no he saved the worst news for last...Scarlet had succeeded in unhinging the locks of the crate and in an attempt to dig out of the room under the door ripped up a good foot and a half of carpet !!!!! ..in our lease it says that if any of the carpet is damaged we have to pay to get the entire carpet for the apartment REPLACED ! i he keeps telling me not to worry but I'm just about on the verge of a breakdown !

thats happened to me...my roommate locked nikki in a room when i first got her and she destroooooyed the carpet. luckily i only had to pay 90 to replace a section

embry did that in our last apartment, we had to pay $1000 to replace the carpet, and lost our deposit also.

She has a metal cage.. We have like a 1000 something security deposit AND a 200 dollar pet deposit so i'm prayyyying that they take it out of that..i mean they already have my money I'd rather them take that than have to try and come up with the expenses at a moments notice..glad to know Scarlets not the only carpet hater

That's not too horrible, although I'm sure you'll have a lot more piece of mind once you know how they will handle it. My sisters pit bull puppy ripped up the carpet in her rental home and when they stuck the puppy in the bathroom it proceeded to rip up all the vinyl flooring in the bathroom too. I think I'm lucky, my boy sticks to clothes, shoes, dog beds and furniture...if that's what you can call lucky.

I was just sooo angry because she's never done anything that destructive ...until now..of course she is only 4 months ...so one can only hope that this is the end of her terror..but its probably only the beginning lol

I hate to say it, but it's probably only beginning. She's not a teenager yet. I would start working on crate training and positive association NOW before it get worse.

We're replacing the carpet in our apartment/rental home right now because Hailey dug up the carpet when we left her crated in the room with Koda. We're also replacing the living room and hallway from destruction and simple pulls from running around the place.

I feel like these are typical husky owner woes... I'm sorry that might not be very reassuring!

no it is reassuring because now i can be prepared and constantly on the look out lol better to know that it'll probably happen again than sit here thinking oh it was probably only a one time thing

Wow that story is exactly what milo did at 4 months. Yup the carpet is still unfixed OH WELL
