I learned a new phrase in Farsi today: zag shusheet! It means "dog piss." And I learned it from the man who will clean and repair the two early-20th-century rugs that my mother left me.
I also learned the Farsi for "chewed edge," but I didn't write that one down.
And how much will it cost to restore the two rugs that my darling Cassie has in so many ways defiled? $2,400.
Fortunately the work will take a couple of months (Eli has a backlog), so I've got some time to dock her allowance. And our new house has multiple floors, so I can isolate her from the two rugs whenever I leave the house.
(Note: the rugs in question are legit antique Persians worth restoring. The rug Cassie destroyed last spring was not.)
This punim is the only thing that saved my zag today:
