In the first two weeks we had Mario, he tore/dug/chewed three silver dollar size holes in our carpet......sssshhhhhh, I have still not told hubby.

Since it was to the point of destruction, and he was doing this in my kiddo's room at nights where I could not watch him, I sprayed her whole carpet with straight jalapeno juice and then crushed red pepper seeds into a fine powder and sprinkled that on the holes he had already made. He only made one more hole after that, and after the first two weeks, he stopped. He was digging in the carpet in the living room just a little, but I told him no and distracted him in here.
