Around 11:30 Layne and I heard what sounded like something in the garage. When I closed the garage door, before I went to bed, I locked in a momma raccoon and four babies. Todd and Mitch were still up (they napped too long after church) and came in and asked what was on the front porch. We didn't realize that anything was going on out there so after we got everyone out of the garage we went and looked. Here is what we found. We have been trying to catch these little rascals for a month now. So, Layne and I headed out for a drive at 11:30 p.m. and dumped out the raccoon, who peed his pants in the back of the truck.We got home at midnight and went to bed. At 1:00 a.m. Todd woke us up and said that he heard something on the front porch. So Layne got up and low and behold, raccoon #2. I want to point out that for a month we have tried our hardest to catch these raccoons that have been driving us crazy and instead, the only thing we've caught has been two (2) cats. Now, in the space of two hours we've caught two of the raccoons. At this point we were too tired to care so we left him there till morning and Layne took him to work in the back of the truck and dumped him out somewhere.
Last night I got home from Wal-Mart at 10:30 p.m. and when I pulled in what did I see on the porch? You guessed it, another dang raccoon! I couldn't tell if it was the momma that we still haven't caught, but it was too big to be one of the babies. The trap wasn't set last night so they got to roam around without worry.
Here is something funnier than raccoons.
I went out to check on Justin. When I opened the door I saw this.....
Here is the view from the other side....
He is the type to go and go and go and then crash wherever he is. I guess taking one more step to get into the cool house was just too much for the little guy.
