Donkey

Donkey that is his name. He should have been called STU BORN.

What was that?

Three days later: He was back again. This time he was going after Hamilton.

                                                                                                                                                                

As told by Patti:

After a long day at work and Lee coming home from the Re hap Center, I was all alone at home  while Greg was staying at his mothers house for the night. I finally got to take a bath and go to bed.

Shortly after midnight Lucy and Hamilton started barking fiercely and loud panging coming from the garage. I kind of knew what was going on.

 But from the inside of the garage?

First I got Hamilton in from the outside. then I opened the inside door to the garage carefully to turn on the light. Yup there he was the BEAR again. He had come in through the window.  When the light came on he haded for the window which was half open to let the cats go in and out. It was a tight fit for a bear his size to get through it but he made it.

He had trashed the whole garage even shelf's were pulled of the wall and no cat in sight.

After everything calmed down I went back to bed.

But not for long, he the Bear was back again in the garage.

I didn't know what to do.

So here I was in the middle of the night calling Frank my neighbor and told him what was happening and of course apologizing for calling so late in the night.

He came over right away just in time to see the BEAR squeezing through the window again. One big boom (gun shut) over the Bears head, it did the trick the bear disappeared into the night.

Peace at last.

 Whoever called this place Patti's Haven?

SURPRISES.

A couple of weeks ago at 2 AM in the morning Greg woke up to an awful crash outside when he looked out he saw half of the tree laying on the lawn. This is the tree were Rhoda (the coon) and her family lives. I guess her bathroom must have rotted out the tree. At least it didn't hit the house.

 Guess who was visiting again last night, this must be the Daddy he is a big one.
