The poor dog! My friends entire tent and belongings stunk! They ended up leaving so they could bath the poor dog.

Just a week or so ago I was working late at the computer and heard a noise on the back deck near the kitchen window above the sink. I guessed what it probably was. I walked over to the sink and leaned over to look out. Suddenly I was eye to eye with a raccoon who had come to the window to catch the moths drawn by the light over the sink. He/she just looked at me for a moment and then eased down and sauntered to the other end of the deck. I went back to work and within a few minutes the raccoon was back feeding on the moths. He/she has been back at least twice since then and I'm sure my window has become a regular stopping place on its nightly rounds as the light stays on all the time.

Leopards, cobras, puffadders, ostriches, baboon and buck - all bright and beautiful. :smile: None of them scared me. It was the upright, two-legged variety that sometimes wandered in that gave me shivers down my spine. Poor skunk :grin:

Thanks to our mosquito friends we need not organize campaigns to donate blood here. By the way I have pasted the above code in my blog.
