The beagle and I are going out into the raccoon-infested backyard.
Pray for us!



I miss the groundhogs...they have shorter claws and gentler dispositions.

2. Sure, when they're not sitting on your back porch.
Scariness overload when they are.

4. I think the feral cat food attracted them. In future, I won't leave the cat food out at night. nt

5. Probably a good idea. They might become a more permanent fixture in your back yard.
When I lived in Rural Oregon, we had a family of raccoons that turned on the spigot and took a shower every night.

And they didn't turn off the water.

8. My dad's favorite line:
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 11:12 PM by mycritters2
"(insert whatever he's bitching about now here) doesn't grow on trees, ya know!". My fave was when we left a screen door open and the AC was running, when I was in high school. "Shut the damn door! Air conditioning doesn't grow on trees, ya know!"
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
