Not since I stacked very heavy stones in front of the cat door....

They still check, though…….Had a young possum the other night in the tree, Caitlin’s really not setting up a perimeter…

She's having to work so hard to send help the Nats...

she really doesn’t have much left for the possum/ raccoon perimeter.

She does notice if they come early and poke their head in..

Bolts out the door so fast I’m afraid she’ll pull a hammy…. I’m unsure if the raccoon is even in the direction she runs….

And right on cue, #3 shows up....

Caitlin didn’t feel like running the grounder out to 1B……. Just jumped off the deck and sniffed the air, then came back inside…

This is such a terrific on-going drama.

It’s got to be confusing for Caitlin…hard to decide whether to snag the grounders, protect home plate or just cheer the team on.
Got to protect that hammy though.
Thnx for the updates.
