Raccoonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....DAMN 'COON
I am beginning this at 1:38 am Central Time. The policeman has just left. We had a terrible intruder...a raccoon got into the house through the fireplace. Raf was asleep in the bed and I in my recliner. All of a sudden he heard banging. The raccoon had gotten into my studio and wreaked havoc. Photos and the rest of the story to follow tomorrow! Oh, I mean, TODAY!
Now it is just past 9 am, and here are the photos I look last night after the policeman captured the raccoon in a laundry hamper and took him outside to let him go. The policeman was very young but very capable. He said he had never captured a raccoon in a house, but once he had captured a possum.
We are exhausted!
This is this morning...after a very non-restful night...looking out into the back yard where autumn has finally come and tonight we are to get sleet and snow. Poke the Cat is wanting in.

My stepmom adopted a raccoon in 1990 and he lived with them for 13 years. He was a mischevious soul, but a great pet. He had a way of surprising my dad and stepmom when they came home with all the stuff he had gotten in to. They learned the value of baby gates and child proof locks (though Raymond could open those!)...Raymond was adopted at a young age (in Alabama) and he was believed to be slightly retarded, which may explain why he turned out to be such a great pet!
Also, your cute cat looks a bit like my Sagis-cat!
came in to the room
only to find sleeping lady...
he gave all a start
as he headed for art
and thought he'd
he'd grab paints
just maybe.
The police had to come
but without use of a gun
took Rocky outside in a hamper
They opened the lid
and out Rocky slid
and off with ideas he scampered.
now Rocky Raccoon is painting
his room
and doing some art for his Betsy
he stole ideas from Sioux
when the troubles ensued
and now he's selling on Etsy.
XOXO
just thought I'd lend a little humor. So sorry you had to deal with that!
Sorry you had to deal with the mess.
Sorry about your ordeal!
Lisa.....very adorable poem.........such a talent!
I love racoons. They come into my backyard with their little family at nite and sometimes if i'm sitting quietly they freak me out!
Glad you are getting more mobile Sioux!
Love,

Hello by the way!

Thanks for stopping by my blog last night... we are in the Austin metro area, and it is cold cold cold this morning, 38 degrees and dropping fast. I'll stop in again to read more of your blog when I have the time - my little girl is needing some attention right now! :)
Have a blessed day.
Phew - what a stink!
Life's little comedies - I'd have totally had a nervous breakdown!
