Don't let this face fool you.




Last night we were awakened in the night by a noise in the fireplace of our bedroom. The sound woke Scout, who sleeps in our room, who then began growling and barking and adding to the confusion. The noise then turned into an all out brawl on the roof with a lot of scratching and hissing and rolling around. Now, we have a steep roof, I don't know how our furry friends didn't fall off but this morning there were no bodies on the ground so they must have survived their 15 minute scuffle. Tonight we have a stinky smell coming from the fireplace in the family room. Not a dead smell, just a stinky animal smell. I have searched the internet only to discover that raccoon mommies often look for a chimney in the spring to nest with her babies. Swell.
Stay tuned.

We had this problem in the fall. My kids thought it was the most exciting thing EVER.

(my word verification was "whimper")
