Somebody Didn't Get the Memo

Rox was very interested in whoever the poor body was --- seems there is a critter who dares walk across Rox's front porch! And yes, that is our front porch covered in snow. Blech!

Bob was as excited as Rox - came to me to get picture of prints so we could identify critter.

I say it's a hapless, half-frozen little thing with 5 long toes. Bob wondered if it was... eek! ... the possum from before........

Roxie did lots of sniffing and tracked it back to behind the bushes and around the driveway to the house next door......

Whatever it was, it was very brave to venture onto Rox's porch.......

Awfully glad to hear from ya Rox.
The pictures your Mom sent are great and while we are envious of your "white stuff", I need to let you know that we have the same "porch problem" as you do. After some help from Dad and a whole lotta tracking and sniffing we find that we have RACCOONS! They are very pushy and love to come up on the porch for catfood - They seem not the least bit shy about our hearing them and will actually face us down "in person". Dad says we need to be very careful because they carry rabies! (Possum tracks are different from those of the RACCOON).

Still missing my earlicks, Chase Problem" as you do. After much sniffing, chasing
