My dogs captured a burglar on my patio Monday morning.

Oh, look at that! A raccoon! Cool! *sigh* We don't have those around here either - not any that I've seen. :-(

I don't know why we don't have more wild critters here (in the central San Joaquin Valley), they probably find the environment more hospitable and food more plentiful in the foothills to the east. There is so much undeveloped land around us for them to roam.
