Just got home from bunco, DH is out with one of the husbands so the house was dark. I get out of the car and head to the front door. I bend down to pet Marmalade and notice a big raccoon is in the center pond. Not ten feet from me. He was fishing with his paws along the sides. He looked at me and then went back to fishing. There are no fish in this pond. Only frogs. I stood there and watched him but itched for my camera. I don't have a camera phone. He was in between me and the front door so I went in through the garage door. He still didn't move. I grabbed my camera but the noise of the lens extending scared him off. He ran like hell and I was unable to get a single photo!
I stood outside my car long enough to call two people and tell them about the raccoon and he wasn't bothered by my voice at all or the car pulling into the driveway. I need a new phone!
