The animals are invading! Coming down in the morning last week, we found the fridge and freezer open with chewed food on the ground. A smart bear has learned how to open the sliding glass door and where the food is kept. Happily, it is a fairly tidy bear. It was mostly interested in water melon and cheese and even took the cheese bag outside to eat.
A couple of days later Marisha came down to find it tugging at the locked door handle trying to get it open. She chased it away. Recently, I also found it coming through the open door. Tired of its nonsense, I growled at it and chased it up the mountain, shouting and throwing stones. It ran fast but I am sure it will be back.
As if that was not enough, a pack rat decided to take up residence in our forced air heating ducts. All night long it kept me awake banging and scurrying around the ducts. It was not interested in the food in the live trap. Eventually, after nearly a week of nightly noises, I caught it using shiny balls of aluminum in the trap. Now it is safely relocated a few miles down the mountain.
