Over the years Dave's had trouble with raccoons. They've chewed into his chimney and under the house.
A few nights ago we looked out the glass doors and saw the biggest raccoon you can imagine just sauntering by.
Then we looked out another window and saw a bunch of babies.
Yikes!
Animal control folks were called.
They came out with 4 cages. The first night they caught the neighbor's cat and no raccoons. The second night they caught the neighbor's cat and one baby raccoon. The third night - nothing.
The neighbor's cat and the raccoons are not falling for it anymore.
David is paying for all of this - plus taking the raccoons back into the woods safe and sound. The cat gets home on her own.
Later he has to find somebody to repair the damage in the foundation from the raccoons trying to chew their way into the house.
At least the big mom didn't get in and have her babies on the bed while we were in Florida.
