"If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. "

Well this morning we woke up to an interesting site.


Our porch is gated,  so we thought nothing of it to leave a bag of garbage on it for tomorrows pick up.  Our trash bin was full so, like we have before, we will leave it on the porch until we take it to the roadside in the morning.

We do this so no animals are tempted to rip it to pieces in the middle of the night and risk getting hit.

Once again- our porch is gated.


SO who on earth climbed up onto the porch and tore the trash to pieces? Little teeth print on pieces of plastic....

There was really nothing to get into in the garbage bag. No left over foods-just rubbish.

Could it have been a raccoon?  Possibly, but why haven't they gotten into the trash before? Why haven't we've seen them?



Maybe it was the crows?  Yes, I'll believe that! They are smart- smart enough to rip open a trash bag and pick out stuff and things.....

but wait- I've been up since five am. I didn't see the crows on the porch. I didn't hear them. And the dogs didn't go crazy like they do if they see a squirrel in the vicinity of the porch.

So who could it have been?


Maybe the trail of hotdog packages gave it all away.

The trial of hotdog packages leading off to Ash's hangout.

hmmmmm.
