Walter Ate the Carpet!

Do you have any idea how old this Persian rug is?  I don't either.  It was a rhetorical question.  It has been in my family for several generations (I'm guessing).  And Walter ate part of it last night.  When my husband said Walter had eaten the rug, I had to come see for myself.  He had it rolled up and was chewing on it, and my husband shooed him away to uncover this picture.  Oy vey!

Walter has been chewing his bed, and he ate part of the zipper.  I'm wondering if it's in his stomach and if he'd set off the security gate at the airport if he went through it.

We keep reminding ourselves that he's a puppy and he's teething.....
