Chompy (Dahnya)

Mildred has been going through some technical difficulties in the past few months. We have been through FOUR television remotes. The two original DVD & television remotes and the two replacements that were destroyed by Doakes. 


You would think Fran & I would have learned our lesson the first time around. But we didn't. We left the remotes right on our coffee table, easy reach for Doakes (aka Chompy Chomperson). Once we realized his affinity for battery acid, we turned to leaving the remote on the lamp table. Again, within Jaws reach. Finally the new remote place became on top of the television stand. 


Only to find that one momentary lapse in memory leads to...

Craptacular remotes turned into drooly uselessness.

Here's a sneak peek of the behind scenes action:

"Bad boy! NO! What were you thinking?!"-Fran

"Dahnya! Stop taking pictures! He's never going to learn his lesson if you giggle."- an irritated Fran.

Luckily, Target is stocked up on crappy remotes & we have purchased remote number 5. The optimist in me wishes it would be the last. But I think about my absentmindedness and sadly resign myself to the fact that more remote purchases (along with batteries) will be in my future. Stay tuned.
