Neighbor was over a little bit ago, they'd tried calling but hubby was on the phone talking to the Lout, who'd called him.
Neighbors had been calling for Tuffy to come in, they thought he was on the kitty deck, but the window is froze shut and they were trying to get him thru the front door. J finally realized that the noise on the deck wasn't Tuffy, he was on the roof. She looked out the window in time to see a great honking raccoon scoot off and run away. Tuffy was on the roof and wasn't coming down off the roof. She's still trying to call him in, 45 minutes later. I think Tuffy is really freaked after his run in with the raccoon that cost him several back toes.
Great, we've got a great big raccoon living up the hill, last we'd heard he was down the road under the bridge. So either he's moved to the better part of the neighborhood or we've got more then one. Hubby is going to call fish and game tomorrow and see what our options are. With luck they can come out and trap it and move it elsewhere. Otherwise hubby will check with the property owner. We have permission to deal with coyotes, not sure what he will say about raccoons. He has cats to and the raccoon has cost the neighbors $300 in vets costs from the one encounter. Needless to say, kitties are in by dark, no arguing.
Didn't get home until 8:30, hubby had a client over in Pullman right after he picked me up and taking me home and then doubling back would have taken so much time. So, burgers again for dinner. Made poutine for a side. My brother calls it Canadian Soul Food and hubby says it is a good description. No cheese curds, so I use shredded cheese. Cheese curds are $5 a pound here, wish we could find it cheaper somewhere close then we can have relatively authentic poutine.
