Monday Morning Mojo No. 36: The Couch Wars
Okay, so Mojo won the first skirmish in our little war. Not only did he land on the couch while I was working out, but he grabbed my planner while he was up there.
The booger.
Well! I know how to take care of this little problem. Let’s see him try to get on the couch NOW.
HUBBY’S REACTION: Where are we going to sit?
BONNIE: When we want to sit, we move the chairs and sit. Simple!
HUBBY: Don’t you think you’re overreacting a little?
BONNIE: I’M NOT OVERREACTING, DAMMIT!
Really, I’m not. I am the calm voice of reason, the only person who seems to understand that Mojo:
- is always stinky
- is usually dirty (he rolls in the dirt the first thing after a bath)
- drools in his sleep, always leaving a wet spot ranging from six to eight inches in diameter
- suffers from PBS, or “Poopy Butt Syndrome.” You don’t want to be sitting on our couch if Mojo has been sitting on our couch.
What a sad face on Mojo.
Good reasons for the couch to win.
He’s still such a cutie.
Thanks for making my Monday shine.

Bonnie you are my beacon in this bully world!!

What a sad, sad face on Mojo. He looks like he lost his only friend.
Score one for Bonnie in the Mojo wars!!

He’s still got lots of friends, Lachlan. He just lost a couch, that’s all.
I knew another bully person would understand—like Susan!
He is a cutie, K, I’ll give him that. But I will not be weak in my resolve, even if he does give me the soulful eyes routine.

at least he doesn’t pull the chairs off like my girls do, or the cushions and pillows, but you gotta luv that Mojo face
thanks for the always entertaining Monday

Awwwhhh! A face only a mother would love. Now see in my daughter’s house, Simon would just eat his way through the chairs…LOL..my sweet child had to bungy-cord the freezer shut!

How is Mojo w/ balloons? Some friends of mine put blown up ballons and the sofas and it keeps their two labs off for whatever reason – worth a shot and less clatter then if/when he knocks them off!

Michelle, you traitor!
Hi, Laurie! I think Pancake and Emma are probably well-behaved little angels in comparison to this bulldog noodle-brain, pillows pulled off the couch notwithstanding.
I don’t know, Bonnie. If Simon baked cookies for me, I think I’d let him into the freezer whenever he wanted.
That’s a good idea, Dennie—I’m going to try balloons. He hasn’t knocked anything off the couch yet, but when I take the chairs off, he jumps right back up! The booger.

Oh, Mimi, you and Dave have been going through the wringer this week. I’ve been thinking about you guys—what a tragedy.
I’m glad I can add a little lift to a sad time.
And speaking of a little lift….
Holy mother of Planet Urine! SUSAN!!!
Awwww…..
