Intruders

Just when I think my life is so boring, God sends me something to remind me it's anything but.
This morning- 5 something am to be exact, I opened the door to the garage to get Mona's food and i noticed my garage door was open. I got on to myself for leaving it open, I mean how dangerous. Anyone could have walked right in. Then I realize someone did just walk right in. Mona's 50lb bag of dog food was about 4 feet from where it normally is. I heard something shuffling around and thought it was probably a hungry stray dog. I said "hey" really loud so it would run out. Instead of a dog head popping up, a small, furry, body stood up and looked at me. A racoon.....At least 2, maybe more. not sure. I freaked out and slammed the door. Called my mom to learn how to get rid of them since obviously yelling at them wasn't working! I returned with Mona and a curtain rod. Cute little things, just not so cute when I'm not expecting them and even less cute in my home!
I survived. I am home for the night, and the door is shut!

How funny Sid.....you wanted a pet, now you sent them away!!! What the matter with you - they were free and live outside!!!!!
And....since they usually live in the forest, Matt may have even liked them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your blog. Auntie

hahahahaha, Deborrah's right, free pets!!
I bet when winter gets there, you will really have visitors, IF, your garage door is open. We had a racoon last night too, we're going to catch him in the live trap tonight!
