carpet repair / puppy help

[belgian]

Just got a puppy and he took it upon himself to help tear up a bit of the carpet in our rental. He just pulled the threads out, the backing is still in place.

I wanted to know if there is any way to repair it? Would rather not inform my landlord unless absolutely necessary. Its weird, he is only fixated on this one spot in the carpet... we have had to cover it up so he can't get to it. Any advice on that front?

1. Find blonde.
2. Harvest pubes.
3. Glue in place.
4. Profit.

Figured glue might work but didn't know for sure.

if you have a bit of spare you can cut out a patch and glue down the new piece with fairly good results depending on the area. i did this on a stair in our apt when we first got our dog. couldnt even tell it was patched

Good idea and I'll have to dig around for awhile but I doubt I'll be able to find enough to patch. If that isn't possible is there another solution?

Nope. You should be able to find a close match at a carpet store. Then remove a small piece out of a closet to fix what the dog did and then put the piece that is close in the closet. No one should notice the switch a roo.

It might take checking out a few blondes to find the right shade to match the carpet...PM me if you need help with the search.

looks like a cut loop no?

you could go around the edges by the baseboards and "harvest" some pieces... should look like a V with a glue dot at the vertex, then you can glue them in place with superglue. you'd need quite a few and it would take awhile.

a nice square patch would be ideal, cut out the backing around the hole and glue in the new patch... might be able to grab enough for a patch under the baseboards or around the stairs also, sometimes it is tucked in a bit behind the tack strips and you could gain enough for a little square or at least do it in 2 strips?!?

check inside closets too, could cut a little square out of the corner of a closet pretty inconspicuously...

edit: liv2ski nailed it on the closet - he must know a Realtor or 2!

Nope, landlord. Just the kind of shit I look for
J, will be in Tahoe 3/30-4/5. Hope you will be around so we can do some skiing. I'll try and rest up this time, so I am not gassed when we hit it

We're going to need some pictures of the culprit.

for sure!

let me know your schedule when you get up here - I'm stockpiling Shell Skifree vouchers again!

He looks guilty as hell!

There was probably something spilled on that spot or maybe another animal marked it at some point and that's why he's fascinated with it.

Cute as [and by the looks of it as small] a button.

Carpet looks like an inexpensive loop you might find at the bigg box stores or local large volume dealer, aka generic rental rug. Might be worth finding an installer to fix it for you, I have "patched" carpet before and it is not easy to get right, especially low loop. After it is fixed your vacuum will live to fuck you over with pulled threads.

Good luck

oh shit don't let my wife see those pics

Second having an installer do it. They have carpet tape that can secure it to the surrounding field rather than gluing it to the floor, which won't work since the original ain't glued down AND it's sitting on pad. Ask around.
Good luck.

iceman's wife has a thing for carpet munchers?

[crackboy]

it depends on the location, if its in the middle of the floor, yea go pro to get it installed, but a tucked away location glue and such should be a reasonable fix
