Gifts of scat

We have a very giving raccoon who has designated our back porch and more specifically, the mats in front of the doors, it's own personal latrine. Not once but twice I've found raccoon poo on the mats at our sliding glass doors.

I did a little investigative investigating and found that yep, it actually is doo-doo from a raccoon and that this is a way for the raccoon to stake out its territory AND it will use the same "latrine" repeatedly. This is not cool. I do not want to find raccoon scat on my door step! At least it's not on fire, but still. NOT COOL.

Well, at least now I know what Rosie's always barking at... those sneaking, pilfering night rats.

You know I hope someone is not depositing these little droppings and doing some voodoo chants... 'cause it's pretty suspicious when it's only in front of the doors, eh... unless the little bugger is taunting Rosie. I wouldn't put it past 'em.
