We had major termite damage to our house last year. We had to rip out the entire flooring, subflooring, and sleepers in our laundry room and living room. There were also 2 walls of studs that had to be replace, along with about 10 feet of the center floor joist. We did most of the work ourselves. I did a lot of the under the house crawling around. Buddy hated it. Everytime I went down into the hole, he would go crazy. He would bark, whine, cry, and run around the house trying to figure out where I was. I tried to tell him there were no such things as ground trolls. I would be fine under the house. He could quit worrying. He didn't believe me. He knew better.
Today, he caught a ground troll red handed. My DD and SIL are building a house on part of our property. Everytime we go out to the house, Buddy has to go to the access hole for the crawl space to look for ground trolls. As he stuck his head under the house, he jump six feet in the air and exploded in the most horrific, barking growl. "Mom, come quick. There's a ground troll. Hurry, hurry before he escapes back underground. I told you there were ground trolls around this neck of the woods. I told you, so." I went to look. There under the house was a ground troll disquised as a plumber. He was making it look like he was hooking up the house's plumbing. I tried to tell Buddy that it was just the plumbing contractor. But, nooooo. Try to convince him differently. He knows a ground troll when he sees one.
