Nope they sometimes do it "just because." Mine chewed a hole in the bathroom carpet. They actually pulled it away from the corner by the tub and chewed the edge. In this case we were able to repair it, by stretching the carpet a little more. A hole in the middle of the floor is more difficult but you might still be able to repair. How big is it? Can you get enough fibers from other places in the house and fill it in with some crafters glue? That will work for a very small one. If you have any scrap of the carpet, you can repair by getting some carpet glue tape, put it under the carpet to include where the hole is, fill the hole with the scrap, cutting it exactly to fit. Then set a hot iron over the carpet until the glue melts from the carpet glue tape. This is how they seam carpets and you can repair a hole so no one can tell. Course if you are renting, you might not have scrap available. Ask the landlord if he has any or can tell you the exact brand and name. You can tell I have always had pets, can't you? I've done a lot of repairs over the years. |
