Visitor's at 3 a.m. last night!
I was waken up by feet stomping on the deck above my bedroom.
I went to the front door with a bat in hand as well as my bear mace, and saw three baby racoons as well as their mom and dad. One of the babies came
in the house and nudged my leg. I then went in the kitchen (with the one baby following me) and fixed peanut butter sandwiches for the babies as well
as the adults. The baby ate his in the kitchen, the rest waited outside politely.
Went back to bed but could not fall back asleep with all the commotion

I know about these guys. They raided my pool and partied all night.
I had to kick them out at 0530 when the sun was coming up. They couldn't get out of the pool by themselves, I suspect drinking was a factor, so I had
to put a ramp in and lure them with bread.
They were grateful and showed their appreciation by bombarding my house with dates and doing wind sprints on my roof every night for the next week.
Damn I love Mulege.

It's a light hearted story (a true one), one that I felt was necessary to lighten up the mood from the heavy-hearted posts recently, DENNIS.

Cool photo, akmaxx!
By the time a photo-shot came to mind, everyone was gone. I kicked myself about the baby in the kitchen afterwards.

No jam, Terry.
The crusts were intact, and used whole grain wheat bread. Better for the critters.

Would have been a good opportunity to test the bear mace, laser, flare gun and wasp spray to see which was most effective.

Racoons are one of the most destructive varmits known to man. They love eggs and destroy bird and turtle nests.

Looks like a disruption of the balance of nature. They should have made their own sandwiches.

Get a family in your garage overnight and it'll look like a cyclone went off inside. If there is an once of food they will return until you trap and
move them an long ways away. My recommendation is NEVER feed them, any wild animal or stray dog. If you do I think you should be prepared to take
responsibility for them.... for ever! It really peees me off when a short timer thinks they're so cute and leaves and the full timers are left with a
problem.

This recipe also works with possums, large lizards, frogs, coyotes, armadillos, as well as some monkeys.

Yeah, but once you start feeding them PBJ sandwiches in your
kitchen they become pets. The kids usually don't want to dine on Fluffy.
