Number two in trap!!!!!! The rest of the family trashed the pond, They
even ate all the flowers and buds from all the lilies. I think I need
more traps. All of the older fish seem ok. (We have not had bonding
sessions with the smaller GF yet.) It seemed as if all were present
for their orange slice this morning.
I think the family is getting angry. They overturned several
potted plants in yard and finished their raid with a refreshing dip in
the swimming pool.
Well, time to take #2 to be with his sibling.
At $16. that coyote **** is starting to sound like a bargain.

Well one raccoon relocated. Found him a nice spot by a lake. He was
kind-of small, and cute as he stuck his human-like little paw out of
the cage as if to say, "Come closer so I can RIP YOUR LIPS OFF"!
...... I reset the trap ..... I have a strong feeling Mama and

family
are nearby waiting to have another swim and buffet in Hank's Puddle.
........ Let us know how the "Midnight under a coyote" cologne

works.

For $16 you should have gotten the whole coyote! It is supposed to
work if there are coyotes in your area. The coon may just think it

is
cheap cologne if it does not recognize it as a predator. I looked

out
this morning to one furry bandit in a Hav-a-heart. I think I'll

take
the little guy to the park today. Good luck with yours. I

hope
I
only have one.

I know some of you will think I'm just kidding due to my recent
run-ins with
the raccoon but this is serious - no kidding.

Yesterday I was at Petco and was talking to the guy in the fish
department
and I mentioned I had a pond. He tells me that he used to but

gave
it up due
to being constantly trashed by the raccoons. So I mentioned to

him
that I
had 4 visits from coons in the last week and I was thinking of
trading in
the goldfish and koi for 200 4" piranhas to remedy the problem.

(OK
I can't
help it - just kidding about that part).

So he tells me I should get some coyote urine...that if it was
available
when he had the problem, he's probably still have his pond. For

a
second I
thought HE was kidding and I said, "You said coyote urine?" He

said
that
they sell it across the street at Green Thumb Nursery. So I went
over there
and bought an 8 oz bottle plus a couple of dispensers. Last

night
was the
first time I used it and didn't have a visit - coincidence? I

don't
know but
I had to try it even if it was $16.

Anybody else hear of it? And it IS actual 100% pure coyote

urine,
not some
chemical (according to them). I'll take their word for it.

They have a web site: http://www.legupenterprises.com
