You'll have to fight me for him, ladies

To the surprise of no one, the results of my Harry Potter Husband Test (stolen from everybody):

Who is your Harry Potter Mate
Your Result: Severus Snape

You like your mate with a dry wit and a sharp tounge. You do not mind the emotional baggage that comes with him. You may have to drag him kicking and screaming from the potion lab, but once his ( Read more... )

A bit of tabasco sprinkled on top of the soil? Didn't stop my dog, but maybe a squirrel.

Oh! That's a good tip. I don't think he's eating much of anything, but I bet he'd find the Tabsco unpleasant, all the same. Thanks for that.

LOL! Good luck in your further dealings with the squirrel.

Snape seems to attract a lot of lovely ladies - and rightly so :D

bluestocking79 June 28 2009, 04:51:32 UTC

Thank you! That squirrel doesn't know what he's in for. :D

Aww, aren't you sweet! Yes, he does attract a lot of lovely women, but it isn't hard to see why, is it? I bet all the other HP characters are jealous.

Yeah, I got Snape too ( ... )

nods, chicken wire would do - or you could get some nice gravel and use it as a mulch on top of the earth in the pots. reduces watering and weeds

Snape's Mine- I don't need no stinking test to tell me that!

bluestocking79 June 28 2009, 04:59:34 UTC

~nods~ Chicken wire occurred to me, too. It's definitely something that I'm going to consider.

And I like to think that there's enough of Severus to satisfy all his adoring fans! At least, there is if he takes the right potions. ;-)

~admires nekkid Snape~

You know, Ron Weasley isn't that bad a choice, when you consider that my second was Lord Voldemort! I mean, the scaly-faced look isn't really my thing.

And yes, I'd swear the squirrels understand, too. Otto developed an odd friendship with this incredibly obese red squirrel that used to stop by every day and peek in the window, where Otto would be lounging and watching rabbits and squirrels. (But not birds. Birds terrify him.) Cat and squirrel would just watch each other, sort of fascinated, but eventually, Otto would end the session by failing to contain his excitement and trying to pounce. (The window, as you might guess, presented something of an obstacle. *g*) The squirrel would just hop down then and return the next day.

I'm definitely considering the chicken wire. It's the only thing I can think of at the moment that would really physically prevent him from digging.

What a funny story. When you first mentioned the problem with your flowerpots I had not idea it would be some animal putting something in the pot instead of trying to take something out.

I have this mental image of you tearing out the back door swearing at the top of you lungs at this squirrel. Priceless!

I do believe dear Severus is going to have to brew gallons of Energizing Potion to be able to (in the words of dickgloucester) - erm - accommodate all of us!

bluestocking79 June 28 2009, 04:55:32 UTC

You know, I had the same thought, that it must be an animal taking something out of my pots. It never occurred to me that somebody would be putting things in there!

And heh--me tearing out the door and swearing at the squirrel is pretty much what happened. I felt ridiculous afterward, but in the moment, I was just NOT going to let him get away with it.

As I said to Dicky, some Performance Potion is definitely in order for Severus... but most men only wish they were lucky enough to have his problems. *g*

*lol*

That is adorable.

My kitty has the same reaction when I tell him "NO". He just blinks at me or continues on with whatever he was being reprimanded for. We're still working on learning that word. ;)

bluestocking79 June 28 2009, 04:49:47 UTC

Hah! I know what you mean. My cats have finally picked up a few words, somehow, and "No" is one of them. They usually do stop and look at me when they hear it, and if they think they can make a break for it, they run away.

However, note that I said "usually." When Othello decides to climb on top of my desk to gleefully gnaw on the blind cords, I can say "No" until I'm blue in the face, but he's not coming down unless I physically pick him up and take him away.
