TJ: 1 Raccoons: well....probably more, but still

We haven't been doing very well in our attempts to rid the attic of whatever it is that likes to thump around up there. Its an ongoing problem.

But tonight we had a little victory.

We heard a thump under the house (= something got zapped by TJ's contraption) and TJ ran out to see a racoon hanging about....so he chucked a shoe at it and it dashed under the porch again. We thought it was fighting something under the porch - amazing amounts of growling and thrashing were going on. Then TJ stuck his face under there (yeh, I know) and saw it tangled up in our electric fence. Two minutes later it was free and long gone.

Hopefully its smart enough to remember that little experience and stay far, far away.

Firstly, I hope he didn't throw your shoe.
Second, is TJ aware of how dangerous Raccoons are? I've seen them on Animal Planet...vicious!
