Seriously?

We have a racoon living in our attic.

Well, we think we have a racoon living in our attic.

I woke around 4am to a significant amount of scuffling and bumping - at first I thought there was someone in our backyard. Then we figured out it was coming from above us. Whatever is up there has a decent amount of weight behind it.

My solution: Call an animal control company and let them do what they do and take care of it.

TJ's solution: Venture up to the attic himself and take care of it like a real man.

Oh dear. I'm not sure this is going to end well...

At least it's not a mouse

No, it's a cat...Or an Opossum.

We have trapped/killed Opossum and mice in our previous old house. Maybe you should have animal killer Steve crawl up there will T.J. and check it out. ha ha

You'll have to tell TJ that Ryan and Lynda Todd know exactly what to do. When Ryan lived in Houston with Tyler Smith, they experienced the same thing. After trying to wrestle with the NOT so cute animal - they called animal service. They came and set the trap and said to call them back when it was filled. It was filled that very night and the call was made. When the animal service people came back, the raccoon mysteriously managed to get out. The animal service people were furiously convinced that Ryan or Tyler let it out. (Now WHY would they do that, duh?) They finally caught one and it was a MEANMEANMEAN little creature. He was so mad and shook the cages until I thought I had figured out how the original one got away...shook the cage until it broke. haha. Anyway, the rest of the raccoons were taken over by the gun-toting, mini-robe wearing neighbor next door. Yes, this is true. He took matters into his own hands and shot them down with a gun.
