Unwanted Guest
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Twice in the past week we have gone into the barn to find a masked bandit in our tack room helping himself to the barn cats’ food.
Last week I was quite surprised to see “Mr.” Raccoon and after a short attempt to get him to leave the barn when he climbed up to the ceiling I left and just left the door ajar so he would hopefully leave by a.m. Tonight he was back and my husband got to meet him. We armed ourselves with broom sticks and each poked at him (he was up in the space near the ceiling again) from each direction until he finally decided it was uncomfortable enough that he should move along. There is no such thing as a “routine evening” at our place!
