There's a new bobcat in the neighborhood and a couple of wolves who may be discouraging the racoons from moving back. If so, that's a fair trade. <br />Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840081926429536044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814776373204473460.post-62189086533800621852013-01-07T13:37:50.349-07:002013-01-07T13:37:50.349-07:00Hah!

These raccoons are just too cute to resist, but they definitely look lovelier in the woods and not in someone else’s garden. :D We used raccoon repellents but nothing beats the efficiency of a live trap. Anyway, how’s it going now? Do you still use live traps?Mirta Luhttp://www.michigancrittercontrol.com/genesee-county-animal-control/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814776373204473460.post-23307625959062141192011-10-03T21:03:38.307-06:002011-10-03T21:03:38.307-06:00ha! no doughnuts!ha! no doughnuts!debraking359https://www.blogger.com/profile/00351513376345658888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814776373204473460.post-26117518933563201372011-10-03T20:54:38.104-06:002011-10-03T20:54:38.104-06:00I have the prettiest opossum's in the land, or...I have the prettiest opossum's in the land, or so I'm told by my visiting friends, staring out the window at them gobbling up my cat's "sience diet" cat food. Their coat is sooo shiney! They are so fat! The cute racoons were sooo fun to watch with their 3 little cubs...scarfin down even the tiniest little crumbs left behind by the fat cats, ....till like you, they ate my bird suet. ALL IN ONE NIGHT.

Mama cleaned out the neighbors dog food a couple nights ago so I'm using dog food and marshmallows dipped in bacon grease now for bait. What more could she ask for? What do you use Debra? I bet they'd love your doughnuts.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840081926429536044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814776373204473460.post-34724177310621095462011-10-03T14:56:05.655-06:002011-10-03T14:56:05.655-06:00ha! growled like an alligator!

As bold and hungry as they are, if they looked like wharf rats with horns they'd be extinct by now. <br /><br />I caught them in the tool shed eating the cat food early this summer. The Mom instantly jumped out the window with one of the pups. (Probably Growler) One of the other pups looked surprised and fell back on some rags with her legs in the air. Neither tried to run. They both ended up looking at me like "Is there desert?" <br />I thought "Awwwww you two are sooo adorable!"<br />Then they took out the pears and were working on the plums but the grapes - that was the last straw.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840081926429536044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814776373204473460.post-85759213953173368582011-09-27T17:39:01.488-06:002011-09-27T17:39:01.488-06:00I love that last picture of both in the tree, how ...I love that last picture of both in the tree, how stinkin cute is that!
