Do you think he/she is one of Angela's?
Angela might have some of the little critters hidden.
' has something to do with the number of dependants she clains at tax time. :o))

You know, it gets around in raccoon town
about what an excellent hostess Ang is to their kind.
Like you said, they look to well feed.

It's Tax position must be tricky as the claim for dependents will vary wildly from one year to the next.

As Eric once famously said "I've got Ewoks living under my decking" Thats got to be tax deductible ....

Nope, It isn't, Their just homeless wild animals.

If they were Ewoks, they are intelligent beings with their own culture. I would try to make a case for tax deductions if I were supporting them.

I am fairly well grounded in reality. If it were Ewoks, it would be headline news - world wide.

The chief SETI@Home scientist of course (NO, NOT me).

You think that's interesting, The house I made an offer on Yesterday seems to have a Mother Cat and Kittens living under the concrete patio out back(My agent mentioned this) as there's a hole dug out next to the concrete. Sorry no pics of the Cat or Kittens as the mother left after the agent got there, So I couldn't take a picture, If I get the house, Angela/Eric will have Raccoons and I'll have Cats.

Wow Vic! A house with such a wonderful added bonus... And unspayed/un-neutered kittens are the "gift that keeps on giving."

Wow, I unintentionally lured You out of hiding, There's no telling If She and Her Kittens will stick around though, If She feels Its becoming an unsafe den then She'll move. Hopefully I'll get the house, Although I have lined up another house, Just in case, As this one has so little left to complete just to get a $54,900.00 payday and yet the owner says As Is, Some things I could do, Some I can't, The heater could be disconnected or the blower could be bad or the thermostat might be bad(doubtful), It's hard to say.

Would you believe I actually created a snake haven in my back yard by piling logs and boards in a strategic pile in the woods line with exits and cubby holes all around in an attempt to attract more snakes? It's actually worked, and the neighbors know about it and aren't concerned.
