Your wish is my command...
The pet coons were before we got the epidemic although I really prefer possums or groundhogs.
Now I view all coons with wary suspicion.
I make a point to not give them a reason to be here [secure goat feed bins] and the trash goes out mere hours before the junkman arrives.
I don’t see them much anymore.
They do visit the catfish pond up the lane but that’s far enough away for my comfort and I let them be.
Also, the neighbor has a small Parsons terrier and little grandadughters who play in the yard next to mine during the day.
There was no way around it.
I guess it was lucky they came into my yard rather than his, considering.
Your wish is my command...
