Apologies and a Raccoon

I realize there are a few of you waiting anxiously for results of my Photo Scavenger Hunt; however, something more interesting (for the moment) has occurred. Scroll DOWN for the Photo Scavenger Hunt. The raccoon that has been living in our attic for the past week has been caught!
I know, I know, pictures...
The images are insufficient to describe how really cute the little guy is. Henry and Gary were chiding me for taking flash pics cuz raccoons are 'nocturnal'. They yelled at me for every picture I took! (Gary and Henry yelled, the raccoon just looked at me).

Biscuit the cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat was present and was also yelling at me and I dare say for a very different reason.

Thanks goes out to all the great friends and
family members who helped catch the little guy, who fixed the gigantic hole in the roof that he made for us and who gave us the encouragement we needed to actually catch a raccoon!
Gary is driving the little guy out to the country as I type. I can only hope that he has an optimistic future... and will stay away from our house.

Well, I have another hope: perhaps this is the only raccoon in our attic?

We've never had a raccoon in the house, just one that visited our trash can! We did have a snake in the house once. I'm very proud of you for actually catching it - Wow. Unfortunately, our snake didn't make it out alive. I really enjoy your blog. I want to want to be a blogger. Jenny is a blogger and she changed our blog. It looks great. Wish I could take some credit for it, but I can't. Hope Gary got his birthday present! Jenny
