Between Noah, Annie and Merri they have cost me a new dining room table and chairs, 3 couches, 1 chair,some clothes and shoes, carpets, blinds, books, all 6 seat belts in my van twice, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. So I crate Tripper now. And I think he'll be crated for a long time. Annie doesn't dstroy stuff anymore but Merri still does, so she's back to being crated. I was always afraid to go home because I knew something else was going to be trashed. But I still love them. Some of my friends would say just get rid of them, and I would answer are you going to get rid of your young shild when he starts breaking things? Shuts them right up! And what is a giant indoor kennel?
