The Lodger

Meet our new lodger. Actually, he's been staying with us for awhile now, despite us having asked him nicely many many times to leave (plus a few not so nice times involving shoes and large sticks) yet here he is again, lying about in our chimney which he now thinks he owns. He also seems to believe the top roof-deck is his, which has posed many a problem when we have unknowingly opened the door only to walk straight into him throwing one of his hissing and growling fits.

In fact, if he weren't so damn cute he'd have been launched off the roof long ago! Currently however we have managed to jam something into the chimney to hopefully encourage him to pack up and relocate...but he's one stubborn raccoon and we would not be surprised if we found him lounging about in our bed one day. Annoying little critter!! :)
