More Varmints

As if squirrels weren't nemesis enough, once again a family of raccoons has moved into the 'condo in the sky' that is our neighbour's roof-top deck. Every night at dusk they emerge, and between midnight and 1 a.m., they return via my backyard. My staff must leash me for 'final pee' since mama raccoon could easily rip me apart, trying to defend her babies. I don't realize the danger...I just instinctively chase and bark at all intruders to our perimeter. That's my job, don'tcha know.
