Everyone has heard of bats in the belfry, but raccoons in the chimney? C'mon!
About 6 weeks ago, my wife heard some noise in the chimney but we didn't make anything of it. Then about a week ago, I heard some scratching on the roof outside of our laundry room. A few days ago, one of my students and I heard something that sounded like a bird chirping. Finally, we talked to our landlords and they came over to investigate. They looked down the chimney and saw a big mommy raccoon.
Yesterday, animal control came to the house to flush them out. The "dead beat" mommy, bailed on her two babies and took off for the land behind our house leaving her two babies behind. So the animal control guy STUCK HIS HAND in the chimney and pulled each one of them out. It was INTENSE!

Did you hide under the bed like you do during a storm? =•) We have more of those cute little ones in our barn if you get to missing those. And coyotes right outside our windows at night. We could teach one to walk on a leash for you. Any interest?
