The Animals Are Everywhere!

We have had a few visitors to the farm lately.  Of course the war is still going on with the raccoons and if you have been following the Raccoon count on the blog then you know that George has trapped 19 raccoons through yesterday.  He has even trapped two at a time in one cage twice.  Yesterday he got two babies that would not stop cuddling to each other, even when released.  Since George has begun setting the traps he has caught something everyday but not always raccoons.  He has now caught to Opossums too.  We do not mean any harm to these animals even though they have destroyed almost three fourths of the corn.  So, it is a war over corn and so far the raccoons are winning but we have not given up the fight and have new plans made to get them where they are coming from.  Let's hope it works!
We have also been visited by some deer lately.  Now we have deer on the farm we know this because of the Game cameras that Lisa and George have placed on the property.  On occasion we will see deer in orchard but a couple of days ago we had a deer right behind the RV and then it walked along our driveway.  This is the first time we have had a deer so close to where we live.  Shadow was so good with the deer.  He did not bark or try to scare it off.  Instead he just stood on the deck watching the deer walk along the driveway.  So now you know why there are animals everywhere!
