The continuing saga of "Roscoe" the alcoholic raccoon.
Fresh off the press, happened an hour ago.
So I hear a cat hiss and she runs in here and jumps in the bed with me.
and I think "Roscoe is late tonight." Sure enough, I hear him wrestling with the screen door, but a bit more than usual. which I wondered about. instead of going right for the cat food, he comes in and just stands in the hallway and starts making raccoon noises at me. "This is odd." I think. "he must be wanting another beer." I tell him to p1ss off, bar's closed. but he just stands there making coon noises. so I pitch him a pack of peanut butter crackers the bugs got into. he rips into it a moment and then makes a different coon noise and I get to meet Missus Roscoe... I'm going to be coon swarmed by spring! I knew I should have made a hat out of the B*tard!

There is still time!! We had "Georgie" the raccoon years ago. Until she brought her extended family. We got a cajun guy who worked on the ranch across the road to "help himself" to them. He lived in the 100 acre pasture in a lean to he made, whole story to be told someday! He went down in the woods to our creek and came back about an hour later with 14 raccoon bodies! He dried a bunch of the meat for jerkey and ate like a king (he said in a heavy cajun accent) for two weeks!!
If I can train him to ask instead of making a mess, I don't mind him much, Ma Wildcat has him spooked out of HER little area. he won't go past the fridge. Speaking of which, her little black on blonde fuzzball came out exploring. he/she is just like mom, it bit the sh1t out of me when I picked it up to put him back. I got Shredder hooked on Cheddar, now she's a sometimes housecat. can't pick her up either unless I hold her under her belly, then its all of ten seconds and she remembers what she is, and CHOMP! Not too hard, just enough to remind me, she's wild!
This isn't accurate, but it does help take the biting chill off - I have tried it.
Thought I would share it simply because of the increasing cost of power.
Also, there are different "styles" using the same principal - some more complicated than others.

I love autumn but thought Pearl would like this one.
I'm using this!
