Raccoon update
I borrowed my parents' car again last night to help ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
life_on_queen move another load of stuff. I stopped by my house to change (platform sandals and a white linen skirt don't go especially well with moving bookcases) and who should I see when I got up to the third floor but my fuzzy little friend, peering hopefully through the glass door?
"Oh, I don't think so," I told it.
It retreated as far as the corner of the neighbour's deck, face poking (still hopefully) around the fence. Unfortunately it had left by the time Jen got upstairs to look. I guess I'm lucky it hasn't brought all its friends yet... and that the weather's cooled off, of course. One folk remedy for raccoons involves peeing all over the place you don't want them to be, but that sounds a little... how shall I put it? Gross. I'd prefer not to have to go that far.
