Ahab had his Moby.
And I, I had my Phantom Sh*tting Raccoon.
But everything changed in one second of my life last night.
In 0.5 seconds of my life, I opened the front door, heard Jay whisper, “Dot, look over there,” saw two pairs of beady eyes stare back from less than 6 feet away, yelped, froze, and hid behind Jay.
So it was not phantom, it was not (currently) shitting, and it was not (just one) raccoon.
There were two of them. Staring at me.
In the next 0.5 seconds of my life, I speedwalked-shuffled-waddled to Jay’s truck, all the while using him as a shield and practically shout-whispering, “Do raccoons attack people? Do raccoons attack people? Oh those beady eyes!”
I made it to the safety of his truck, climbed aboard faster than you could say “Boo! Ye Olde Chunkster!” and whipped out my iPhone to capture the moment.
I need the raccoons off my property.
And my iPhone needs a zoom lens and flash.
