Night Action

So you'd think that I would deserve a good night's rest after my close win at DMV.

Around midnight, I'm awakened by a scratching sound on the screen to my sliding door in the bedroom. The dogs go CRAZY.

My heart was thumping as I peeked outside. I didn't see anything. I went to the livingroom and turned on the deck light. CUTE! There was a racoon on the rail of the deck. Just hanging out, over by the hanging birdbath. I watched him for a few minutes. It didn't look like he was going anywhere soon. He curled up with his feet underneath him, like a cat.

I went to get my camera and when I came back he was gone.

I feed the dogs in my bedroom, in front of the sliding door. I'm wondering if he wasn't smelling some of the kibbles in the dishes left from supper.

The dogs and I went back to sleep, but this morning seemed to come pretty quickly.


Peace
