Welcome Chewie Louie!

It appears that without perpetual entertainment our “fuzzy yellow tank” chews anything within reach. As such I have taken to calling him “Chewie Louie” or “Chewie”. When he outgrows this phase (I pray soon) Chewie will just be short for Chewbacca.
Chewie has a lot of Wookie characteristics: strong and loyal, large and loveable… plus, “George Lucas is said to have borrowed the Russian word собака (Sobaka), which means dog, to name this dog-like character” Wikipedia.
Now, if I could only convince Chewie NOT to satisfy his oral fixation with the industrial strength extension cord for my block heater (wish me luck with that…)

Chewie will be going to obedience classes VERY soon!

Thanks for your help!

We hope he likes it too!

Unfortunately, he prefers to walk away with the carpet rather than actually be the carpet...

In a sense, though, the more he eats your carpet, the more he really will *be* your carpet.

True enough, but he doesn't stay still long enough to be a carpet...and he's kinda lumpy.
