The Raccoon Whisperer

Caroline: The raccoons have started tagging the back yard fence, and Dave found a dead possum in the pool.

A-L: Are these two events connected?

Caroline: Classic raccoon mob tactics.

A-L: Why get a possum involved?

Caroline: It's a ruse.

A-L: What are they trying to do? Claim the backyard with the pool, hot tub and BBQ as their own? Are they trying to drive you out? Could it be that they're attracted by the coyote urine?

Caroline: As far as I'm aware raccoons and coyotes are not natural allies in the wild.

A-L: Maybe the raccoons are daredevils, and they're looking for a fight. They obviously have no mercy. They've sacrificed a possum. Is Dave going to clean the pool? And wouldn't coyote urine attract coyotes?

stay tuned...

the possum had concrete blocks around his feet. I'm afraid to let Dave out there at night.
