I am going to let you know about the real life hazards of blogging……
You see, I know the hazards.
The first hazard that comes to mind is ‘being totally engrossed.’
Now, I know of this particular hazard because it happens to me quite regularly. I spend my weekends and often my time before heading off to work, reading blogs. I am a blog-a-holic. OMG.
Anyway… One particular weekend, not too long ago, I was catching up on some very valuable reading. I had my macchiato in hand and the morning was spent perusing, otherwise known as “hey, I’m having me time!”
Midway between blogs I got up to go to our lovely composting toilet. I do intend to tell you all about our wonderful Rota-Loo at some stage…BUT…as I was walking along our wooden pallets towards the toilet, that is when I noticed we had been under a terrorist attack.
Now you might find this frivolous or you may find it serious, but I could not believe that one tiny little terrorist could cause so much damage to my beautiful flowering gum.
It’s poor roots all dug up and torn, exposed to the sun and wind. It’s leaves all wilted and forlorn…What could I do? I quickly growled at The Garden Terrorist and forbade him to come anywhere near my garden again.
I then stooped down and covered up the precious roots, watered, fed and generally just hoped for the best. A few days later, my little Corymbia ficifolia that was planted for my son is looking okay. I really do hope she will pull through…
AND the said ‘Garden Terrorist’ is a very new addition to the family here;
He also happens to go by the name of ‘DEVO.’
And here you can see he has taken a liking to the succulent collection……
At least I can now explain where those bite marks came from! For a while I thought I had one helluva caterpillar on my hands.

With a face that like, you could forgive anything! What kind of dog is he?
Cute little terrorist! This is why I stick with cats. LOL Is Devo a greyhound? He’s got an incredibly shiny coat. I hope his terrorist days end quickly. Your plants (and probably your sanity) can only take so much.
The Shibaboyz don’t generally bother our plants other than occasionally knocking over a small pot here and there. You can be SURE we will not be letting them see this post over our shoulder! Don’t want them learning any new tricks! LOL
Nooooooo – not the Corymbia!!! Hope it recovers.
(Cute terrorist though)
Yes he is a very cute little whippet…but oh so naughty!
Devo is so cute . . . but I know those teeth marks on the succulents must make you want to scream
I had a very inquisitive rat terrier who loved to pull plants out of the ground and bring them to the door . . .
I love whippets . . . Gina
Omg how cute !
