After the first week or so of being crated during the day, we decided to leave them alone together in the outdoor kennel while it was still nice outside. They got along just fine, and we started leaving them alone in the house for a few hours now and then in the evenings. No problems. So this past week when it got colder we decided to let them have run of the house during the day. The first day they chewed up an empty cardboard box, but that was it, so we decided to give them a second chance. BIG MISTAKE!
Besides that lovely African covered basket, the death toll included everything inside it: two remote controls, a music CD, some miscellaneous papers, and thankfully just the neck strap of Mark's binoculars! What really killed me though was the fact that they also attacked their own toy basket.
You can see there were still several Nylabone toys inside, but they completely destroyed the handle on the basket itself. They now get one toy each, along with a treat, as they go into their crates when we leave for work in the morning!
