Mammoth Raccoon Seen



Even without glasses, Anna was able to spot this on the neighbor's roof. In buddha-like repose, absorbing sunlight with hands at sides, this is how chicken calories are being spent. Hard to tell from the photo, but this animal is bigger than the biggest house-cat, and smaller, just barely, than a full-grown german shepherd - but way fatter. Ps. Sorry for referring to the other, puny raccoon as a "bitch-face".  Just outside of the photo to the right and below is an old dog kennel which might be able to be converted into a chicken-coop since friends of my landlord say he will never agree to a coop. The house with the kennel is abandoned so if any neighbor (nay-bor) complains, (as I am told "the law against chickens is on a complaint basis")  the birds will be removed, but no-one will lose any money or face, and I won't need to claim any responsibility. Now the question, which is more aggravating, to have raccoons eat your chickens, or cops carry them away? Something not to think about as I make any plans toward commandeering the Kennel. My only focus should be making sure the raccoon can't repel into it from here.
