Picture was taken June 24, 2008 with my Kodak Z740 Digital Zoom CameraPhotobucket

 

So he doesn't look spooky to you?  Well, he didn't to me either that June morning when I came home from work and found them up this tree in my yard,  I was excited. Grabbed my camera out of the car and begin taking pictures. What a find! Surely a good Picture Perfect Friday one of these days (Little did I know).

No, not Spooky until I found they lived with me..... and Animal Control told me they had calls from people who woke up face to face with a raccoon in their bed. That is when I moved downstairs (I believe in sharing and decided the upstairs could be theirs ~ LOL).  That was several months after the picture was taken.

They are sly little devils ... and have avoided capture to this day.. but the trap is set and their days at this address are numbered ( Now, how is that for positive thinking?)

And yes, I still sleep downstairs... The thought of sleeping with a raccoon is SPOOKY to me!!!

 

Wishing each and everyone

a wonderful Raccoon-free Weekend!!!

  11. So funny..........we have squirrels in the attic that I cant bear to trap as the Terminator guy once set a trap and caught the big old grey one by the tail and it died (I think it was the mother)..........I felt so guilty that I didnt go upstairs and investigate and release it when I heard all the screams and racket. But I am not giving up my bed for any critters...lol....not even the three fat cats that share it at the moment........in very unequal portions I might add.

  14. Seeing the photo I thought it cute, not spooky. Reading your blog makes it real spooky! I would not continue to sleep upstairs either. Cute how they may look, I would not like to wake up in the middle of the night to find one right next to me... Brrrrr!
    Good find Linda (including the music)!

    It is a magnificent place actually. We had a great time there. That was why I brave myself to bring the girls despite the stories I heard...;-)

  19. They're cute to look at but they can do a lot of damange to a house....not to mention possible being rabies carriers. Scary.
