ACK! Linda can't let Chimmie out in the backyard until she finds out what the heck is living back there. This morning he tried to bring a tiny dead critter into the house. It had hair like a raccoon, but it was really small. Last night about 11:00 p.m., she took him out back to pee. She heard a bunch of noise coming from the corner of our yard, tucked up against the fence. Chimmie was going crazy smelling around the yard first thing this morning. The second time he went out, he made a beeline for the fence and started picking something up and throwing it around. From far away, Linda thought it was just a leaf since he has an obsession with them. Except the thing he was tossing around was coming down too fast and going up to far. She called him to come in but he would not obey, even when she said "cookie". He finally came running when he heard the cookie container shake, but he bought his new toy with him. As soon as he got to the sliding glass door, she saw what it was. It freaked her out! She has dealt with dead mice before, but never something like this. She kicked it off the deck and will not go back out there. Someone needs to come over ASAP and remove the dead critter and check for a nest. I told Linda to lock Chip Cat out there and let her deal with it.
P.S. Sarah, send Taylor NOW! (Or come do it yourself since you've come face to face with a crazy raccoon and lived to tell about it)
