another random story

I was eating breakfast the other day when I heard a noise that sounded like someone was on our sun-porch. Being by myself I thought that it was strange so I looked, but no one was there. I sat back down at the table and heard the nosie again...this time I looked out the window only to see a gigantic raccoon climbing up the drainpipe and onto the roof! I didn't know what to do (well...it wasn't like I was going to go after it!) so I continued eating my breakfast. Ten minutes later I heard the same kind of noise and the raccoon was done with whatever he was doing on the roof and was now shimmying down the drain pipe but fell halfway down and then took off running. This concerns me because 1)I've really never seen a raccoon 2) what was it doing...aren't they nocturnal? 3) the last thing that I thought I would see this morning was a rodent, much bigger than my dog, with sharp teeth, climbing onto the roof.

So I told my dad about it when my parents got home...he got the shotgun and set it by the door incase Mr. Raccoon decides to make another appearance.

Yes, my dad owns a shotgun.

That is all.
