Mall Adventure

We hit the mall for some serious walking to try and persuade Charli Jo to come and join the rest of the family... these are just some quick pics of our short adventure...

raccoon hands and wholes in my door.

can everyone picture what a raccoon's hands look it. terrifying. now can you picture a pair of those hands coming under your front door. i can. george and the raccoons (yes plural- 3 to be exact) got in a fight one night and as he was holding two of them back the third was coming towards me and the open front door. i got my recycling bin and was screaming and throwing all my cans and bottles at them. george finally ran in and i slammed the door and checked him for battle wombs. he went to hide under the bed. i hear this scratching at the door, thinking it is him, i look over to see two sets of raccoon hands clawing at the underside of the door. i kicked at the door but they wouldnt go away and all i could think to do was get some pepper and pour it all around the door and it got in their faces and they left. then a couple days ago, i heard the scratching again and the hands were back. this time trying to reach george's food bowl- which is no longer located near the door as it was before. then i came home the other day to find a big whole in the bottom of my door. they were trying to tear their way in. then yesterday morning i had let george out and went back to sleep and all the sudden he was on the bed. the whole is not big enough for him to "let himself" in and out. im fixing it today but yikes.
just wanted to make you all laugh a bit maybe at my misadventures in life.
