Had a brief encounter with our raccoon friend last night again.
It was around 1:30 am. I woke immediately upon Athena's first bark and was out of bed and downstairs extremely quick. I grabbed my pellet gun and ran out the back door. Before I could round the corner of the house, I heard the raccoon jump over the fence. Damn! Maybe next time. He definitely didn't get into anything this time, but he's moving the trash can outside the fence closer to the fence to jump in I think. Moving the trash can to the other side of the AC condenser ought to do the trick
