what's on my phone: or-so-i-thought edition

i'm linking up with jess today
for some what's-on-my-phoneness!

today's edition is part ii in a saga.
{does it sound more dramatic that way? 'cause it's not really.}
remember when the husband's dog

chewed a hole in the carpet? kinda like this?

it turned into a small dilemma.
we're not ready to replace the carpet,

but i can't let the dog keep chewing it.

so what to do?

just put something over the hole that the dog can't eat.

huh.

that's a pretty short list.

i finally settled on this:

i know....this is redneck.

metal step ladders don't make classy decor.



but it's just meant to be a short term fix.
and no lie, it was the only thing in the house

that i figured he couldn't chew apart.

until today, when i came home to this:

 

and what do you suppose these rubber thingies used to belong to?

bingo.

 

rest in peace, step ladder stoppers.
clearly that idea was neither classy nor clever.

 

soooo, if i don't blog for a few days,

could someone please make like a domino's delivery person

and come check on me?

there's a good chance i could be eaten by a wild dog.
