It's a JUNGLE out there!
Category: Daily Diary
But this year, it is not a JUNGLE in HERE...thank goodness.
We had a raccoon family living in our attic. This family has decided to live in the grape arbor a few doors down. Easy pickins' eh?
Click the picture to get a closer look. It's like playing Where's Waldo?
Raccoon 1: Dude! We've been busted! It's the cops!
Raccoon 2: Harry! Help me outta here! I'm stuck! I'm stuck, I tell ya!
Raccoon 1: Harry! Don't walk THAT way! AWAY from the light...AWAY from the light!!
There were not timid at all and began walking right up to us. So we took off. And covered our tracks. Don't want those guys following me home. No way.

Gaaahhh! You're a braver woman than I am. Something about raccoons just gives me the willies. I think it's the combination of their beady little eyes and their inner city attitude. I can hear their derisive words right now..."Ya wanna piece a me? Do ya? Ya mutha wears combat boots!"
Creepy little buggers.

Raccoons don't bother me nearly as much as opossums. Have you SEEN those things? Blech. They're like big ol' rats with 50 of the sharpest teeth you'll ever see. Put some food out one day about 4 p.m. to feed the feral kitties (whole other story; am neighborhood cat woman now) and came out about 15 minutes later to take the bowls in and counted one, two, three cats still munching away. No, wait, go back to cat #2. Yikes! That's no cat tail! Friends had a raccoon crawl in through a hole in the soffit. One, a small blonde who neighbors already think crazy, was up on the roof (three stories high) banging on the side of the house with an aluminum bat to scare it back into the attic so the animal control people could snare it. Still a funny visual. :)

Raccoons! We relocated 11 last summer as they drove us nuts during the wee small hours of the morning. Seems they discovered the mouse bait traps around our log home and because they were starving it was the only thing they could find to eat. Neighbors haS taken down all bird feeders - they attracted too many coons. The birds have returned this season, so far no coons!
