MAY - Mystery solved! On the same day I see the meme about raccoons being the animal of the coronavirus (because they wear masks and wash their hands), we have one poop in our yard. Not a coyote... #MotherKnows #EverybodyPoops #Nature #SaferAtHome

We really wouldn't mind if raccoons visit our yard from time to time...

...we just don't want them treating our yard as their toilet. I mean...this is right in the center of our lawn!

Nearly every morning of this past week, Valerie and I have found and removed a pile of raccoon dung from the middle of our back yard lawn. Say hello to my little friend... #Raccoons #CounterMeasures #ShitGotReal #SentryMode #ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre

The Yard Enforcer is doing its job...the raccoon did not leave us a gift after encountering this little device

Oh crap! This pile was left just beyond the reach of our Yard Enforcer. I guess I will have to reposition it again!

I'm in the home office when I hear Valerie's excited but muffled cries from the other room...she has spotted our little pooper in broad daylight and she wants to make sure I catch a photo of him

Unfortunately, I miss seeing him standing on the top step of our pool

And I don't have a chance to up the shutter speed...so these were the only shots sharp enough to share. Blurry photos included him walking on the bricks, inspecting our lounge furniture, and a better angle on his face
