Did the raccoon eat the dog food?
I guess the duck has moved in, at least in the next door back yard (my rent house) and the family who lives in my rent house is keeping their cute dog in my back yard when he's out. My back yard has grass and theirs doesn't since the last renters let all the grass die in both the front and back. My renter went and got a city animal trap to help me catch the raccoon but two nights have passed and we have no black eyed furry friend in the cage!!! I am thinking we need to change food items in the cage. Don't think a raccoon likes dog food.
My grandson told me Friday that if I wanted to I could write down on my Christmas paper that he wears a size 5 roller blade! Guess you know where we went Saturday after his basketball game.....K-Mart for roller blades. He is so into indoor skating and he skates so long on Friday night, at the skating rink, that his feet actually hurt. He could never have waited till Christmas.
A life long friend of mine passed away over the weekend and I attended his funeral today. In his little handout it said he never met a math problem or computer that he didn't like. His wife had related that in the 60's when she tried to cash one of his paychecks, the store was a little leery because it was from an unknown business called IBM!!! She also said when he would explain to people what he did their eyes would often glaze over, (I have a nephew who builds computer programs and he does the same to me). He was in with that first batch of people who knew one day everyone would have a computer at home. He will be missed by those who knew him.

I think that raccoon is waiting for the filet mignon.
Yay for rollerblades! You're the best grandma ever.
Sorry to hear about your dear friend. He was practically a prophet in those early tech days.
Put some peanut butter and crackers in the trap. Raccoons love peanut butter. My sister has caught several that way. You are like me and can't refuse your grandchild something he wants.
we are anxious to try the peanut butter and crackers.
Hi Ann, I'm sorry for your loss. Your friend sounds like a real visionary.
Raccoons and rollerblades, huh! Looks like you have your work cut out for you. And I hope your grandson is still a size 5 come Christmas :-)
Hope your weekend is good.

Sorry you lost your friend.
Is your son getting his skates now, or does he have to wait til Christmas? :) I have heard about some raccoons that would eat dog food. Guess you have a picky eater. :)
I know someone who used marshmellows to trap a raccoon! It worked too...lol
