C is for "Critters"



Yes critters....as in "they are NOT my friends" right now!! Actually most four legged creatures are currently on my bad list since the other morning I woke up early to go on my walk and was greeted in the kitchen by a lovely brown "treasure" from one of the cats. Not sure which one either. To accompany this "treasure" was a "streak that started on the carpet and went halfway across my kitchen floor. Safe to say at this point I wasn't having a good morning. I go to get cleaning supplies to start on the mess and look out the back door to discover much of my container garden on my deck is dug up and the carrot and onion seeds that Matthew had planted (and were growing very well) were dug up and strewn all over!! I was fairly positive any outdoor cats didn't cause this mess and upon further inspection, I found raccoon prints on my sliding glass door. Later in the day, I found out that the neighbor has had the same problems and said that a momma and her three babies were living up high in a tree. Argghhhh..... damn raccoons! Then a couple of days later, a house behind us obviously had a new dog and we finally figured out it was escaping their backyard to get into our backyard to use it as his own personal toilet! Now I don't own a dog yet, I actually might consider one in the future, but I am not interested in letting some other dog use my yard for nothing but excrement!!

So anything with four legs right now needs to be on its best behavior...around me at least!! My poor kitties, I have been awfully grouchy with them lately! :)
