[Magdalen] speaking of critters...

[Molly Wolf]

"My" raccoon was being purely defensive and only scratched me when it believed I was going to attack it.  My only concerns, now that the garage is secured, are (1) should I throw out the kibble the raccoon was sitting on, and (2) where do I now hide the spare house key, which used to be in the garage?
