| Yikes! I’ve heard those Formosan termites work fast… could it be they’ve invaded our house? |
BONNIE: Great Scott! A hole in our house! And I never called Xtermites for that follow-up inspection! Now our house is going to fall down about our heads! (wrings hands) What will I tell Hubby?
(spots Mojo)
Wait a minute…

| MOJO: What the heck is she staring at? Could it be… liver treats? |
BONNIE: (to Mojo) Did you have anything to do with this?
MOJO: Arrrruff! (TRANSLATION: “She looks like she’s gonna break out the liver treats!”)
BONNIE: Holy cow, you did, didn’t you! Good grief, what are we going to do with you? We can’t leave you alone for a moment!
MOJO: Arrrufff! (TRANSLATION: “Yaaay! Liver treats!”)
BONNIE: You have a ton of chew toys! A TON! You get plenty of exercise! Why have you turned on our house?
MOJO: Arrrufff! (TRANSLATION: “Hmmm. Liver treats aren’t looking good right now. Ah well, there’s always this tasty piece of house to chew on…”)
BONNIE: NO-O-O-O-O-O! Get away from there! Shoo! Shoo!
REPLACEMENT COST: We haven’t figured that one out yet. Probably some putty (or bondo, even), some paint, and an electrical fence with razor wire should do it. Right now we’re just spraying Bitter Apple on it.
Wren, you know, you have a totally charming book with these pictures and humour about this innocently evil monster.
Just as a collection of posts.
LOL….lol…..
What a face. What a tale.
Bernita has an excellent idea. I’d buy it.
A Mojo fix all the time option. 😀
Now about those termites… do you think you could talk to Tabuki, the wonder clawer?
We tried the bitter apple w/ our younger dog – she’d lick it off then gnaw on it!
Hope you have better luck!
(I agree w/ Bernita! – coffeetable books unite!) 🙂
Yeah. I also had a dog that liked Bitter Apple. It was like putting sauce on whatever I was trying to protect.
Might I suggest cayenne pepper if the bitter apple doesn’t work. You should be able to mix it with water and spray it. I know it worked in spots my dog was digging in, there I just dusted with straight cayenne, but for chewing like that, it might be difficult to dust. Or maybe some of the pepper spray that people use for self defense.
ooooh that mojo mug! he is soooo cute. naughty but cute!! lil stinker.
bitter apple has saved many of our possessions and the baseboard mouldings in the kitchen as well. we have not yet moved on to exterior damage but Spring is here. I expect it anytime now.
Mojo, Mojo. You could get splinters in your tongue doing that! Really. Stick to wires. Or try a nice, smooth, tasty refrigerator door. They last a good long time! 😀
Bernita, Kait & Dennie, you guys are always too nice to me.
Dennie, Pat & Miklb, you scare me with the idea Mojo might learn to love Bitter Apple. I’m spraying it with Cayenne water now. I think razor wire might be the way to go.
Susan, keep an eye on your house, girl, as it’s only a matter of time. Maybe the two of us can get a good deal on razor wire.
DjangoCat, that was the first thing I checked, to make sure he doesn’t have splinters! Maybe he just sees our siding as a kind of a dental floss?
Urghhhhhhhhhh!! Darn it, i posted a coment here yesterday and i must of clicked a wrong button ad sent it into space LOL!
Auh, geez! Just make sure you put the computer up high!
Dang, Michelle, I don’t know what could’ve happened there… I just checked my spam catcher and you’re not in it, so that’s good.
Bonnie C., I’m thinking of wrapping my iBook in razor wire.
Just looking at the gnawed wood in the photo, makes me sure your property is over run with squirrels as mine is. At on time I actually fed the rodents and thought they were semi cute. Now, there is undisclosed bounty on their knotty heads. There is nothing they don’t try to destroy and do a darn good job of ruining every thing outside my home. From flower bulbs to garage doors, and steel fence braces, they have sent me over the edge. I spray everything growing outsidein my reach with anything I hope they won’t like. So far, no help, but I feel better waging a war aginst the skinny marauders!
I am open to any ideas to drive them away with no blood shed.
