Cornholio 0 #1 May 10, 2004 For the past few months I have been Kody-Proofing (tm) my house. I think I am done.. I hope. Have you Kody-Proofed (tm) your house from Kody or other wild creatures ? 5721: The dryer vent. There was a plastic thing on there with louvers (sp?) but Kody chewed it to pieces. This should help. 5725: The sprinker controls, hose reel, and connector hose had to be Kody-Proofed (tm). The fucker chewed up the wires for the sprinker controls, ate through the connector hose for the hose reel, and then finally pulled ALL the hose out of my old hose reel while in the process of chewing that hose reel to itty bitty pieces. 5722: Phone box. The fucker chewed through the phone box cover and in the process ripped out all the phone lines. Then he proceeded to pull the wires that were coming into the box. So I had to box the phone box and put a piece of roofing material over the wires running down the side of the house. I think that will work. 5723: Satellite cables. After putting the cables into conduit, that seemed to stop that fucker from pulling the ENTIRE cable out of the house - which means I had to crawl under the house twice to fix it. 5724: Cable TV cable: Same as above. That fucker ripped out the cable out of the house for this twice too. After the first time I only Kody-Proofed the top part of the wire (above the horizontal electical conduit) But no, that fucker got his claws or teeth onto the small part of the cable below the horizontal conduit and pulled the cable out the house again. Ripping out the cable isn't that bad. But what happens, is the Lil' Shit (my g/f's term of endearment for him) chews through the outer protective cable and then grabs onto the copper strand in the middle and pulls it out of the sheathing - hence I have to replace both ends of the cable. Wait...there's more... Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #2 May 10, 2004 Looks like a thorough job to me. Got low voltage wires to your air conditioner in conduit? What about the insulation around the refrigerant lines going to the a/c?? I have seen those chewed a few times. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #3 May 10, 2004 5726: Pop-up sprinklers. Note to self: Never leave Kody outside while sprinklers are running because the fucker grabs onto the sprikler head and pulls the entire thing (sprinkler and body) out of the ground. Good thing those things have flexible head on them, or I'd spend 4 hours replacing pipe instead of 1 just replacing the unit. 5735: My attempt at growing grass and had to Kody-Proof (tm) it from the wild creature. 5737: The fucker dug underneath the fence twice and then pushed his head through the boards once. Old rotting fence. Need to get it replaced. Solution: put his feces in the hole and it keeps him from digging there anymore. 5739. Lil' Shit got a hold of the boards for my shed and pulled them out and chewed them to pieces. I had to replace them and put many many screws in them to hopefully deter the fucker from ripping them out again. 5727: The fucker - Lil' Shit, in all his glory. Anybody want him ? I'll give him away to a good home ? Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

skycat 0 #4 May 10, 2004 Luckly I have a Foxy, so unless all that stuff is coated in salmon it's already Foxy-Proofed. If covered in salmon, she will teach Kody some new tricks.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen those chewed a few times. Yeah, that fucker chewed through them too.. Here's a shot of that. So the fucker first chewed off the insulation - that'ok. But then he got a hold of one of the control wires and pulled it out of the house too. You can see my attempt at zip-tieng it to the refrigerant line. Oh, also had a drill a new hole for it so I could mount it there. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

Cajundude 0 #7 May 10, 2004 Dude this post is killin' me! I'm sorry for your troubles but this is some funny shit! I thought I had it bad when my little girl chewed up some of the window sills. Is that a pic of Kody? What is it, a fox? Might make for a nice rug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #8 May 10, 2004 Yeah, the last pic in my second post is pic of him. Nah, he's trouble sometimes (ok most of the time) but I couldn't get rid of him unless I knew he'd be going to a good home permanently. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

hottamaly 1 #9 May 10, 2004 Looks like Kody has problems. Does he need a friend to stop the boredom that seems to be plaqueing him? Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #10 May 10, 2004 Sounds like you're having a bit of trouble. Here are two methods: Kodyproof1: they should be strun all over the yard and pluged in. Kodyproof2: If you need help with this one, the YOU need help.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Cornholio 0 #12 May 10, 2004 QuoteLooks like Kody has problems. Does he need a friend to stop the boredom that seems to be plaqueing him? Hmm... A friend ? how about an accomplice ? That was my thinking about Kayla - the female on the left. "Get her a friend so she won't get bored." Well, they play a lot, but she is definitely the dominant one even though he is about 6 inches bigger in every direction and about 10 lbs heavier. She was never this much trouble as compared to Kody.

catfishhunter 2 #14 May 10, 2004 http://www.hitecpet.com/humanecontainadvanced.html I just ran a webferret search so I am sure you can find something like it just about anywhere but this was the first site that came up.

EdC 0 #18 May 11, 2004 Have you tried Apple Bitter? It was designed for houseplants but works well for other items and should be available at any pet store. It tastes like shit, I found out by mistake, and it keeps the dog from chewing on anything that it is sprayed on. My wife-to-be has a shih-tzu who like to chew on the TV if there is another dog on the screen. I sprayed the wood around the TV and the TV plastic casing with apple bitter and now that little shit thinks twice about licking or chewing on the TV. I don't know if "marking your territory" would work or not. Good luck with the dog. Big Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #19 May 11, 2004 try putting Ceyanne pepper around the things you want to doggy proof, it donesn't actually hurt them but it stops them.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #20 May 11, 2004 Yeah, tried the apple-bitter stuff. I have a half gallon of it, but it only lasts a couple of days, and reapplying it every couple of days on everything is a bit too much work. Poop works better. It stays around a long time, and it is a great deterrent. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

Katzeye 0 #23 May 11, 2004 Dogs perform destructive behavious *most* usually when they are bored. Get that dog-wolf-thing into basic obedience ASAP. If he's smart, he's gonna be bored with or without companionship. The obedience training will give him something to "noodle" about in his head while you're gone, provide an avenue for him to be good, and teach him "human" boundaries. If he's neurotic, that's an entirely different story. Good LUCK! Is a chicken omelette redundant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
