The damn raccoon is back
I had my gardening shoes outside and the damn thing was smelling them.
He was released 10 miles away 3 months ago, and the damn thing is back smelling my shoes.

1. He can smell your shoes from 10 miles away?

117. That's really interesting! Wildlife often relates to humans. I've had birds that know me and
dropped by when they saw me outside. A huge one used to fly up and visit me when by the pool. I never fed him (her?) or anything, he just seemed to like me. The guy across the canal was was a fisherman and used to toss bait scraps off his boat into the canal. Two wild birds resided over there, but one of them took a fancy to me and used to fly over and sit by me. He was huge, so I was cautious, but he (her?) seemed friendly.
Now I have geckos. I had always thought they just run around all over the place, but I've noticed some hang around in the same place. I can recognize some of them ... I think ... because they go to the same place all the time. ... they usually run away, but I swear, some of them come to get to know you. I've had a couple like that, they just stayed by me.
Well, and then a wild rabbit that seemed to adopt us, he lived under the bushes in the front yard, used to come over and sit by us. I never tried to pet him, never fed him, just seemed to like the company. There is a sad part to this, I came out one morning and he was dead on the lawn by the front door by the bushes. He had gotten hit by a car during the night and looked like he tried to make it home. We had a little funeral for him (her?) and buried him by his favorite bushes.
So much wildlife can be fun and very interactive if given a chance. We also had a dove that loved company outdoors ... used to sit for hours by the bird feeder, used to lie in the seed catch tray too. You could walk right up to them and seemed so happy!

33. I do have a bow
I hate killing things, but this particular thing is pissing me right off. Eating my tomatoes, damn.
If it is the same raccoon, Aerows can take solace in knowing the beast wasn't rabid at all, and she got all those injections for nothing.
Can't be too sure. Might have got some strange tail en route back home.

Which one (got the tail)? :confused:
ETA: At least the raccoon survived its' initial contact with a DUmmie.

How do you know it's the same one? You've had several you were feeding.
