He's too bold and intent. Even though other raccoons are around, this guy has shown he's too interested in our Flapper gang. Ducks rule, raccoons drool. Call the animal trappers again – he has to go.

I will be less hospitable toward him now that I know he's eyeing the ducks in the same way he was eyeing the cherries. (Not that I could do much as he scarffed cherries for a hour last evening...maybe I can get a big bamboo pole and knock him out of the tree? Knock him into Eric's yard. Hah.

I just had the same problem with a raccoon trying to get into my ducks' house/yard a few weeks ago. We caught her in a live trap and relocated her to a nice wildlife sanctuary 10 miles away, but I know how you feel--it's an uneasy feeling, because where there's one raccoon, there's always more, and they're smart little critters... maybe the neighbor dog can have a chat with Mr./Ms. Raccoon about proper visiting etiquette (i.e. no raccoons allowed!)
