Look what I found......

I got the be-jabbers scared out of me this morning when I was taking out the trash...thank heavens it was me and not the Drama Queen...meet Rico, our garbage coon. Such a joy to look in the can right before dumping a full can in and seeing those sad little eyes staring right back at you. Michael wanted to bring in inside for Ella to play with. Try explaining that one to a 5 year old...that "precious little creature" could have Ella for lunch. Everyone had to look at him shaking for awhile before we decided that he should be left all alone to figure out where his Momma is. We turned the trash can on its side and went to Wal-Mart. When we drove up, Michael and Sarah ran to the backyard to discover that Rico had gone on to bigger and better trash cans.
