I’ve mentioned before that my dogs are very high-energy. I’ve also mentioned before that if they don’t get enough exercise/stimulation/attention that they eat drywall.
I’m not joking.
Today, while Mike was in the basement working out and while I was sleeping, the dogs did this:
Need a closer look?
Yeah. Our walls really are that dirty. Trust me, I’ve cleaned them many, many times but the dogs are determined to wipe their almost constantly dirty paws/faces/bodies all over the walls.
So. We have quite a hole in the wall. Not that this is the ONLY one in the house.
Both of these are on the same wall leading to our hallway.
That white area used to be covered by more molding. Ate that off.
And can you see that small strip of wall between the moldings? That’s actually a strip of cardboard used to cover this:
It’s MAJOR. Two feet in height major.
Majorly embarrassing to show you guys too, because seriously, our house has looked like this for a long. time.
We’ve spackled many other holes around the house that the dogs have created, including the one above. Doesn’t matter. They’ll pick a spot on the wall and go at it like there’s buried treasure underneath. No amount of “bitter” spray can hold them at bay.
Now, they don’t do this often. It’s rare anymore that they’ll chew at drywall and wood moldings, but…it still happens, like this morning.
And we have to fix it before we leave. So I’m gonna get my spackle and sander out and get to work.
Ugh. These dogs. Does anyone else’s dog tend to eat drywall?
