A weird thing happened last night. Linda took Chimmie to the backyard before bed to do his business before he went into his den for the night. This morning, the gate was closed and latched. Last night it was definitely open and unlatched. How could it have gotten latched overnight? There are critters who come up on the deck at night. Linda accidentally left a trash bag out there a few weeks back and there was a hole chewed in it the next day. Unless the raccoons have grown thumbs, I don't think they would have been able to latch the gate. Very strange indeed. I guess it was the same critter who pulled the chair over to her kitchen window a few months back.
