Oh, and tell Grandma Dar to watch out. Killing woodpeckers is against the law! shhhh, don't tell the game warden!

Hot dog! I was just thinking about him yesterday and wondering if you were ever going to catch the wily critter. Did you take him somewhere far enough away that he'll never come back?

Farmers are sometimes more persistent than racoons, especially when they have all those adorable chicks!!Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the good laugh. That cowboy icon cracks me up. Especially after I read your little note. Farmer 1, Racoon 0. YES!

Your smiley guy makes me think of Yosemite Sam, "Varmint, I'm a-gonna blow ya to smithereenies!". :)

Congratulations! I'm sorry for the raccoon though -- so cute but so destructive. P.S. I love your chicken illustrations!!!

That emoticon is the cutest little shooter I have ever seen. Glad you got that coon!

Yay for you!! Glad you are rid of the varmint!

Posted by: Becca Feeken | October 12, 2008 at 09:43 PM

Happy for the chickens...Sorry a little for the raccoon (they are cute).

Posted by: Ida | October 12, 2008 at 09:41 PM

Ohhh..be cautious...where there is one there is usually more..so lock up for a little while until you are sure there are no more.
I don't want to ask what happened to him...I am picturing him out in the wilderness, far from the chicks, with dinner magically appearing for him every night so he does not have to hunt in your neighbourhood any more. LOL

Um...seriously...any tips would be welcome..I think they are reaching into my pond and hurting the fish through the protective cover...some of them have nasty cuts on the backs. :-(

Posted by: Sue Farrant | October 12, 2008 at 08:55 PM

HURRAY for the FARMERS!!!!!
So glad you caught him...hopefully he doesn't have any friends in the neighborhood...
I was thinking about the situation today, wondering if you had gotten him yet...thanks for telling us the good news!
Your chickens will be so happy to be free again! :D

Hi ho the dairy-o!! yoo hoo to the farmer!

Posted by: Kelley | October 12, 2008 at 08:52 PM

I would assume you mean one fat old racoon met with an untimely demise. My in-laws have had a herd of racoons move into their farm they are eating the cats food and come right into the garage. I think they said they had counted 5 or 6 of them. They are all full grown but are probably a family unit. Glad you finally got rid of yours. Your poor chickens didn't stand a chance. You will both be glad not to have to do the lock up at nights. Ann Lind

Posted by: Ann Lind | October 12, 2008 at 08:46 PM

YeeeeHaaawww!
You go farmers!

Posted by: Darlene Pinder | October 12, 2008 at 08:45 PM

Whoo hoo!! Happy farmers, happy chickens! :)

Posted by: Dotty | October 12, 2008 at 08:31 PM

Horray! I'm so happy that stinkin' raccoon won't pester you anymore. :)
Totally made me laugh!

Posted by: Bev | October 12, 2008 at 08:14 PM

Yippeeeeeee!!
