New Varmint
Tomorrow I have a trip to the hardware store planned. I have to get some two-by-fours and fence hangers to prop up the roof on Hensdeep anyway but at one point today I was coming back from giving the girls some lovely tidbits (slugs, I think) and I saw something crawling back under the fence from the herbs and hops bed. It moved very slowly because it was seriously s-q-u-e-e-e-e-e-zing itself back under the fence so I had time to notice its brindled coat, its long, rat-like tail, and its very bizarre hind foot. It was pretty darn big, too. We’ve had problems with rats (Steve’s executed six so far and has the trap set for tonight as well) but this was the size of a small dog. It was heftier than a cat. I stood there a minute and thought about it. It wasn’t an opossum; wrong color. It wasn’t a beaver; wrong tail. It wasn’t a raccoon; wrong tail again. Definitely not a skunk. I couldn’t see over the fence, so I ran around to Larry’s yard and looked over his back fence into our neighbor’s yard. I got a good look at it but nope; I definitely didn’t know what it was. So later when I looked it up (I love Google Images) this is what I discovered:
