. . .no, actually it started before the discovery. it really started the night before, when I heard some unusual noises. it is very usual for me to hear unusual noises at night (does that make them usual noises?) . . . my neighbor has 2 big dogs and 2 cats who are always up to something mischievous, and there have been several raccoons coming around lately. along with all the wildlife, my old friend upstairs makes a whole assortment of strange noises at night. but that is besides the point. i ignored the unusual usual noises, suspecting that it was indeed just another raccoon in my backyard - my sleep is precious, and i was too comfortable to investigate. so i went to sleep . . . it was the next day that the unpleasant discovery occurred . . .
A
DEAD
RACCOON!
i kid you not. reasonably so, i was a little bit disgusted. i stayed clear of my backyard for a couple of days . . . trying to figure out what to do. is there a business that transports dead animal bodies? do i throw it in my neighbor's backyard and plead innocent? do i hide it in the port-a-potty at the construction site? have a funeral for it? do i make it my new pet?
i was at a loss for what to do. ALL such good options . . .
tonight as i walked out on to my patio i was welcomed by a not so welcoming stench. that was when i knew immediate action needed to be taken.
so i resorted to plan B (or really, plan F i think) . . . i grabbed my trusty shovel, and hurled the raccoon into a blackberry bush on the beach that borders my property. is that illegal? (please don't report me)

hopefully some other wild animal will find it . . . or better yet, an environmentalist who will know what to do with it.

So when I use a shovel... which is daily... I usually dig holes with it... perhaps you could have barried your racoon friend... like most people like to have happen when they die?
You're too cute!!
maybe i should have cremated it, alot of people are doing that these days.
I still think the port-a-potti option had merrit. It probably already smells so much in there that nobody would notice.
So are we also going to get to hear about your scooter adventures?
Oh Lori, I never who have thought you were a city girl. Seriously, a hole would have been an easy option especially with those huge pipes you are getting ;)
maybe you should have boxed it up, tied a ribbon around it and sent it to ryan. :)
oh yeah, brilliant idea Jani!
hey i like that one. but a little too late . . . can't find it anymore haha
