Mean Raccoon

   Raccoons...what do you think about them? Have you had a close encounter with one? Would you stand and fight Mr. Raccoon?
   You may wonder why I ask, well....about a year back I was putting my trash into our condos dumpster, and as I was throwing it over I noticed a raccoon in there sitting on the trash that was already inside. Out of curiosity or stupidity, I haven't decided yet, I took a closer look. He was positioned sitting kind of on his tail with his bottom feet out and scratching like a man would with his 2 hands, I laughed at him and went on my way. I did however let all my neighbors know he/she was in there.
   Fast forward to now. This raccoon must think this dumpster belongs to HIM. They have changed the dumpster over the year, this new one only having side sliding doors where the old one a bit smaller had an open top. Raccoon seems to think we don't belong coming there anymore apparently, unless his butt has gotten trapped inside with the doors closed, which mind you is funny as all get out when you here him running around freaking out inside. You tend to try and weigh is it funnier to listen to him freak out or do you want to have to run for your life when you slide the door open to let him out.
   Mr. Raccoon has chased off a few people and he is relentless from what I hear, not just scaring the pants off of you but literally chasing you up the street hissing and making other weird noises. Why is all this necessary from Mean Mr. Raccoon...doesn't he realize we are the ones feeding him and freeing him from his dumpster prison when he gets locked in? Just something that was on my mind and had me chuckling this evening so I thought I would share....enjoy!
