Oh, deer…

November 16, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

This morning David noticed this in our backyard: He told me about it when he came upstairs to finish getting ready for work so of course I had to go check it out. I took that first photo through our needs-to-be-washed sliding glass door because I didn’t want to frighten it off by opening the…

I’m thankful for…

Today I’m thankful for the opportunity to see wildlife in my own backyard. Chris and I watched these three deer for at least 10 minutes this afternoon. I just wish I’d had a video camera with telephoto lens so I could have captured the little drama that took place. A couple of our cats seem…

And so it continues…

Our current count for David’s raccoon relocation hobby stands at eight, not counting the possums and one of our cats who got a little too curious. The live trap he had been using was on loan from a friend but since this may be an ongoing project, David bought his own the other day. I…

And then there were five

It all started with Rocky Raccoon, who turned out to be Rockette. And there were others. And they learned how to use the doggy door and help themselves to the bags of cat food in the laundry room. They kept coming back and bringing friends.  “Hey, I’ve found this awesome place with free food and…

An ongoing saga

August 13, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Operation “Raccoon Removal” has thus far been unsuccessful but the battle rages on. David borrowed a live trap which he set up on our back patio. I’m just not sure there will be room for a raccoon.

Houston, we have a problem.

August 11, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I do believe we have a little problem here. Remember Rocky Raccoon?  Well, I think we should have picked a more feminine name. And do you have any name suggestions for her two young’uns?  More to the point, what do you do when these masked scallywags have watched the cats go in and out of…

Wild Kingdom

August 2, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Anyone remember this?: My family used to watch this and The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night.  Good memories. We live in the country and it is sometimes like living in our own “wild kingdom”.  First there are the raccoons that I posted about the other night.  And yes, I mean “raccoonS”, as in…

I wish I had a picture…

July 18, 2008 By Deanna Piercy 11 Comments

Just now as I was driving home after delivering Meals on Wheels, I passed someone on our road driving an ATV with a raccoon on his head. I don’t mean one of those Davy Crockett coonskin caps. No, I’m talking a full size, real-looking raccoon, complete with head, body and tail. I’m supposing it was…
