It was on the 2nd floor and the water ran through the air ducts down to the bottom floor. It was 11:00 at night but we still went to the neighbor and woke him up to borrow his shop vac. thank goodness for good friends !! If you don't already have it, get one of the older style kennels with the plastic body and metal bar "windows" and door for the dog. that may contain him better and not allow him to reach things outside the cage.
The same thing happened to us!! Years back I put Teki in the bathroom when I went to work. Came home to water showering all over....shower curtain chewed, soft toilet seat chewed, everything under the bathroom sink drug out and chewed, floor messed up, door messed up, toilet paper all over and wet. Not a good idea! I WAS SOOOOOO Mad! Didn't stay mad long-I loved that dog and miss him terribly. :(

Good luck with your lil challenge doggie. ;)
