Midnight Marauders

Just wanted to 'record' the progress on the critter front: There are, indeed, 4 little raccoon pups living under our deck. They finally appeared last night to play in the water dish, knock over small furniture and chew up the pansies in the pots. Too cute to believe.

Mark is so pleased and proud I think he's going to take cigars in to work on Monday.

They didn't seem to know what to do with the food dish - pulled it around the deck and scattered the contents basically - but the water was an instant hit. Four small raccoons vying for real estate in a 9-inch glass pie dish is a whole lot of fun. The water didn't last long, but they kept after it.

We are really going to pay for this, aren't we?
