Meet Paco*

We have a new "pet". It's an outdoor pet. Our cats "accept" him, probably because they have no other choice. We won't be introducing him to the inside walls of our domain though, as he is a raccoon. Chris has named him Paco. It looks like Paco the Trailer Park Coon has made his video debut on youtube:

Paco's been comin' round to our house semi-regularly. He apparently enjoys bird seed - a lot. He harrasses the heck out of Bosco, who is supremely offended when another animal is within the range of his domain. He huffs and puffs, springing back and forth between the living room and kitchen windows, peering out at Paco, giving him the stink eye.

Paco was missing at the birdfeed buffet for a few nights, but has returned, quickly depleting our stock of feed. I think Chris was really worried about his absence. He buys the birdfeed so I'm all "whatev". Bon appetit, Paco.
