The Creature

I think we've got some sort of creature hanging out in our back yard at night.

Yesterday I noticed the drip pan on the smoker was pulled out and yucky who knows how old awful smelling grease that the Captain forgot to wash out had spilled out everywhere.

It was a creature in the night that did it.

And this morning there are some mushrooms on our patio.

And Gauge is all sniffy all over the patio.

We also noticed a few weeks ago something had dug under the gate.

The Creature.

Oh, and I had a lizard thing in my den window between the screen and glass the other day. And that is way way way not cool.

But I think The Creature is not the lizard thing.

The lizard thing is a separate issue. 

Anyway, let's review.

The Creature likes to eat old stinky BBQ smoker grease drippings that smell like puke.

He eats mushrooms.

He digs.

He comes out at night.

Maybe it's a racoon. ???

Connie and I were texting about it yesterday and we determined there may be TWO creatures. The digger AND the grease eater.  Plus, the Lizard thing.

At first she asked me "Do tacos dig?"

Huh?

Stupid auto correct.

"Do raccoons dig?"

So, just to be safe, add tacos to the list.

She said any wild animal or even a neighborhood cat would eat the old stinky BBQ smoker grease drippings that smell like puke.  But the question is COULD THEY PULL OUT THE TRAY?

How about a fox?

Lots to consider as we build the suspect profile.

I'm puzzled.

And a little scared.

And still kind of skittish about that lizard thing.  Cause the window is RIGHT BEHIND THE CHAIR IN THE DEN WHERE I ALWAYS SIT.

I'm not too cool with the lizard on my patio.  But I'm way way way not cool with the lizard in my den.

OK, that's all.

Stay tuned.

And, Happy Friday.

Oh, and GO HOGS!  We've got a big one tomorrow.  So, y'all send me some good Woo Pig vibes.

Peace out.
