Ricky, or was it Rhonda? Raccoon

Yesterday Rachel came over.  When she was talking to us I noticed, from the front window, a car slowing down and rolling their window down.  I said , "What are they looking at?"  Mirielle and Rach looked out the window and said, "It's a porcupine."  I thought they were joking.  About a half hour later Sam from across the street said, "Did you know you have a raccoon in your yard? Actually, it's under your driveway."  Jeff and Peterman came back around then.  Jeff trapped the critter in the irrigation ditch that runs under the driveway.  He put a square 5 gallon bucket on one side (with 2 clunks of concrete in it), and a grill with another clunk of cement holding it in place....voila!  One non porcupine-raccoon trapped under the driveway.  

That was last night, after Animal control hours.  The helpful dispatch gal basically said, "Well you have 2 options: 1-untrap the animal or B-wait until the morning."  I didn't want the varmint running around, so we kept it trapped until around 2 today when I could deal with it.  The story is way longer than I'm telling...."...that's uh, Unbe-liev-a-ble."(a quote from one of my favorite movies)  1 can of tuna in a trap and 30 minutes, was all it took to get the animal to walk out from under the driveway into said trap.  The animal was cute, but grunted/hissed at us. It is in Raccoon Heaven now.  Officer Friendly said this is #7 Raccoon of the day, along with 4 skunks, and 1 fence-impaled deer.  Lots of critters are no longer running around the city.
