You are willing to take responsibility for your mistake. Good on you, mate. That's the adult thing to do.

At least he didn't "wash" the carpet.

I feel your pain, OP. Yesterday my 6 month old pup found two rolls of paper towels and had some fun. It was like Christmas in my kitchen.

Well as long as you learned your lesson, it might not be so bad.

I feel your pain. I got a boxer puppy right now myself. so far she's aten about 10 pages of my brothers homework (which he left in the middle of a 4 foot tall table), half a dozen rolls off the counter, a bag of HDMI cables that I set done for 2 minutes and didn't find for two days, tried to steal phones from out of peoples hands, and much, much more. at least my dog ate it will be a real valid excuse for you!

Dogs are assholes

At least he avoided a brown color palette...

YDefintiely DI - if you had your puppy inside more often and taught it the proper manners, you wouldn't have had this problem. I had a six month old teething Rottweiler in my house, I could go out for an hour, come back and the only things that would be pulled apart were her toys. Dogs are a product of the effort you put into them.

When I was younger, my mom let our at that time new puppy into the house without realizing my math homework was on the floor. Long story short, she made me redo my homework because she didn't think my teacher would believe that my dog actually did eat my homework.

Yeah, that's teething age. Never keep valuable (or easily damaged) things in reach of a teething puppy.
