Kathy & Lily I find that Sissy Girl will do more digging in the carpet when she is bored and has not had her daily mile and a half walk. I just tell her to leave it and she does! She looks around for something else to get into..........worse that a two year old skin baby. Keep her some chew bones available, or maybe a KONK with some peanut butter in it. That keeps my baby occupied for a long time. Since I got Sissy Girl a few month ago, my floors have never been so clean. At my house NOTHING hits the floor, she is there to catch it. They just like a LOT of attention and you don't give it they will find other things to do. Jean & Sissy Girl
