I had a blast watching all the raccoon videos. The baby opossum (and it's huge mom) that used to raid our outdoor kitty's bowl was a real pain. They have really sharp teeth and are not afraid of anything.
Wow. Maybe that is the answer...when we lived in Roseville, we came out one morning to find our front door mat gone. Who would steal a door mat? Now I know!
Sprocket: We've got opossums here in Meridian too. One night I walked out my back door and was startled to find a huge opossum on my back porch. The darn thing nearly took the screen door off the hinges in it's hurry to depart. (I usually keep the screen door on the back porch slightly open so my cats can come in or go out.) The house next door has been vacant for a long time now and is "home" to quite a collection of "critters". We (my son-in-law) and I have trapped a few of the opossums and he takes them for a little ride and releases them a few miles downriver from us. I noticed another big one in my yard the other night. I guess it's time to get the trap from my son-in-law again... lol
Steven: I am guessing that the opossum took the doormat for nesting material? They do steal some strange things.... One of the videos on YouTube showed the raccoon eating from a cat food dish and then stealing the dish itself! lol
You'll never know what kind of posts I'll be putting on here. Some will be fun things that I find around the internet, some will be reports of crimes or trials and some will be things about my family, my friends, my travels or my photography. Hence the name;
"Anakerie's Random Thoughts". I've also invited my brother to add posts to the blog as well.
I've been retired since 2005 and live with my 2 cats in a little tiny town in Northern California.
The job I retired from was CAD drafter and project manager for an architectural firm that designed and built commercial and educational buildings. I've had a lot of jobs over the years, including working as a photographer and driving trucks. Seen a lot of stuff and still want to see more.
