Now, Chimmie is going to be locked up every time Linda leaves. He had a few successful times where he was able to run free without doing anything bad. Last night, Linda was only gone for about an hour. When she got back home, she found that Chimmie chewed a hole in the carpet. It's right at the top of the stairs too. She really didn't get mad at him since he probably did not even know he did anything wrong. But now he has to be cooped up since she can't trust him not to chew the hole bigger or even do damage to the furniture.
