1) Porkchop is TOAST. SO are Spittles and Whiff if you allow the wildlife to roam within the screen door. The next thing you know is Wile E. COyote will pay a visit and you will have a couple of tabby tails lying around with no cat attached.

Cougars might be a threat but not Coyotes. There are coyotes, foxes or something all over the place but they are pretty small (I am pretty sure they are red tale foxes - I don't think we have coyotes). You can't tell from the pictures but Porkchop is big and muscular. He actually chases the foxes. The only things that seem to intimidate Porkchop are the deer, Racoons and the Rabbits (the rabbits are much bigger than the foxes - I wouldn't be surprized if they ate the foxes).

2) I am pretty solidly certain that the issue of whether the screen door waslookced or not has zilcho to do with the raccoons entrance. They don't have opposable thumbs, Focker. They can't open doors. Also, I am pretty solidly certain that Raccooons enjoy cat foot (especially moist) just as much as a skunk. The only thing we have learned here about raccoons v skunks is that raccoons are more resourceful.

3) You don't have Air Conditioning? Or are you just thrifty? This could be a problem for me. I enjoy a cool bedroom at night.

I have airconditioning but it dries me out and I like a cool breeze.

I will shoo the possums out but not the Racoons or the Skunks. The Racoons are big and mean. These are no Ranger Ricks.

That Spanky would not cower under the covers while the Raccoon ate Salami's moist cat food. This post definitley is a point in the Chance column for sure.

The only way I am taking on one of those racoons is with a shotgun. A rifle or pistol ain't going to cut it.

What a cold thing to say to me, Ironwood. After I told you I loved you, at that. That's the kind of stuff that drives a woman to mantrapping.

Yes

And there is no substance over her. Technically what goes on here is not "form" but I think I got the point across.

Once I looked out the back window and he was sitting on the stoop and I counted twenty raccoons sitting around him. They were just sitting there, hanging out. It was sweet. This went on for about a year until I moved. He moved to my parents' house and continues to hang with the raccoons there.

And don't feed the raccoons. the reason they are so big is because they have plenty to eat.

Twenty Racoons? Really? How cool is that? Why the hell did you move?

I got married and my Husband wanted to move to New York. So I gave up my big Toronto ground-floor Apartment with the Raccoon-filled back yard. I agree, though. Very cool.

Now that I am getting divorced I too am wondering why the hell I moved from Raccoon Utopia.

Its not even "technically" "not form". Its jsut not form. Form goes to the title and purpose of the board. It is titled "The Spanky Show" and its purpose is to get you to regale us with your Entertaining Stories. So its Form and Substance.

Techinically. Indeed.

But I don't want to lose you here. What can I do to make this better for you?

I don't get the Form over Substance remark. Drivel over Substance, I would understand. But not Form. I am not sure you know what Form over Substance even means.

which board does he see as substantive?

I see raccoons regularly around the dumpsters in my apartment complex. They also help themselves to whatever fruit grows on the fruit trees by the tennis court (not Apples or Apricots. Persimmons, maybe?). I live in Houston's Inner Loop. You're not talking about a rare species, like the Perk Breasted Boobie or anything.
