Then, I got home from my run, glanced over at the side of my house and this was there:

| That's TRASH that was inside the can last night. Damnit. |
We have a dog now (God love us) and so the trash can really smells like $hit. So, a few weeks ago (after nagging Boy Child for about a week) I took it upon myself to clean the trash can. (And I think you know how I feel about this - it's right there with cleaning the vacuum. These tasks just make me go, "What the WHAT?")
So, of course, the fu*cking raccoons came back. They were waiting for me to do this. They smelled a clean trash can with food trash in it and they went nuts.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering - my brushes with wildlife this past week have included this guy

| Yeah. That's a coral snake that Girl 1 found hanging out. He's dead now. |
and this gal.
 |
| That's a peahen (female peacock...duh). (I always have called them female peacocks because I am a dork.) |
Am I Dr. Dolittle? Because it kinda feels like it.

Put up a sign and start charging admission. Maybe you can get enough for your first child's college dorm fees. :)
i think hubby was going to do the "human waste" thing again last night. plus i put a big a$$ rock on the can in the hopes that they are weak. it poured down rain last night, so i may not see the results until tomorrow night.
i am going to start some serious negotiations with Animal Planet (FYI: for the anti-cable having peeps, that's a cable channel).
this gift of yours needs to be working for you. ($$$ and by you, i mean me)
Ok ICKKY to the raccoon, because i know hoe much of a mess they make, and glad the snake is dead (although if you tell Colin I said that I will deny it) as to the peahen all I can say is I am sorry because those are flipping loud birds. Hope it goes away soon!
@shannon - do you remember how you schooled ed to the ways of the coral snake??? well, this time he was very careful to place BOTH pieces under a big a$$ rock. ;o) @jamiew - please, please make me some money. reality tv?
I think, instead of Dr. DoLITTLE, you are Dr. DoTOOMUCH. You definitely deserve that trip in your latest post!
~whatimeant2say
yeah, the trip is going to be a nice vacation from the raccoons.
Snake -- scary!! Peacock -- awesome!!!
@punky coletta - agree. the snake was really pretty, but too poisonous to relocate. ;o)
Oh lordy, lady I wish I couldn't relate but I so can. Our bins are in a cage (anti cat, dog, monkey etc) and there's the army ants in the yard, the bats in the roof and more recently a small puff adder the dog found in a flowerpot by the front door! Live my nature filled life though, I'd never change it :)
