Last night's downtown festivities was a Fairy Fest, but not rainbow. Artists, makers, crafters, but Gnome and woodland theme crafts with a pop band playing.

Not really my area of interest Live Band or not.

Only trouble I've had with a pet door was raccoons. IN Town living, they are not afraid of humans anymore.

Had one manage to climb inside one our big blue trash bins a while back. He was trapped, had made sludge out of the one trash bag that was in their and since the top was still opened, Thank you bandit, and it had rained overnight, he was miserably filthy.

I just kicked the thing over and let him run.
Pellet pistol would have made easy work, but I see no reason for that.
Not his fault we took over his ancestral stompin' grounds.

Interestingly, we lived close to the river then and you could see marauding coyotes and tentative deer in the alleyway often, in town suburbia.

My mom, visiting, went right through the sliding door screen once when she saw a huge Indiana deer in the back. Deer aren't this big in Texas unless you get up on the caprock closer to Colorado.

Around here coons are a nuisance and a danger to small livestock like chickens, ducks etc.
We usually declare war on them this time of year, trap, shoot etc. No quarter!

Totally get it!
Coons don't usually work in teams, but a buddy got a pic while gathering his stock of four coons bringing down one one of his young goats. Never seen that. All he had on him was a phone. Ran them off but it was too late. He was slobbering mad!

After some consult, my plan was sit quietly in his back area, million candle power spotlight and a scoped .22 for a few nights.
No quarter!
Thinned 'em out.

Good Morning INGO! Having a lazy morning watching the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix off the DVR. So far it’s a much better race than last week.
