!. Pumpkin Spice candles! Lots of them. 
2. My dogs are always on leash when I have to take them out at night. I don’t have a fenced in yard and there are lots of coyotes in the area.
Punkin is fine today. The last encounter took a week or two to recover from. She didn’t get sprayed as much this time.
My son’s Boston terrier would have tangled with Pepe’ had he gotten out. THAT would have been a sight (and smell)
Well this is a first… anyone missing @Antonius?

Anna Catharina is still here sniffing around, Maria Antonetta may be on a road trip?
Anna didn’t even eat the marshmallows last night ? She took all of them the other night so she probably has them stashed someplace.

You’re not doing anything this afternoon. Why not build’em a cool maze to navigate? Might appreciate their water hole bowl all the more if you made 'em work for it. 
Need to use flat-bottom, straight-sided, recyclable bowls. Bottom and sides similar to ship’s mugs design concept. I repurpose those black, round plastic Asian takeout food containers (sans the lids). I have stacks of them for the birds and critters. The baby cooners chew them when teething, but what the heck, I have a never-ending supply. Here’s one for the feral cats (one is sleeping in my rocking chair). There are 2 other bowls out there:

Speaking of Cats, now there are 5 different cats from the neighborhood that come and and drink out of the water bowls also. I know all those cats have homes because I see most of them laying around in front of their own house during the afternoons. Two of them had a cat battle outside my window at 3:20AM.

The 
gang has their own obstacle course here, crawling under my gate to come in my yard then climbing over the fence in the backyard to go on their adventures, repeat on the return trip.

Look closely at their ears. If the tip of an ear is clean-clipped (ear tipping), it’s a feral cat. Counties round them up, spay/neuter, vaccinate, etc., clip an ear and place them in neighborhoods as a colony to help curb reproduction and for rodent/pest control. If you feed them, they claim your property as theirs. They eventually trust you and get friendly.

Those are either strays or housepets. They look well-fed too.

I used to see a lot of black squirrels when I was working in Iowa and even home in New York State but the main population is the Gray Squirrels. I’ve never seen one with a white tipped tail. 
I just have have red ones running around here and they don’t eat marshmallows.

There were a bunch black furred squirrels near my grandparents home on the Mississippi River in Pepin, WI.
My grandpa liked to put an ear of corn on one of spinner type feeders and just enjoy the show they put on trying to get it.

Taste like 
Version 1 WCO on scheduled event recording. I have another good one but it is over 10MB in size, and to large to post.
Marshmallows and Chicken for dinner. 
Anna Catharina’s snack.

Retreat to the Fort. They came back 14 minutest later and had to retreat again because the neighbor’s little yapper dog was barking at them. The (s) are bigger than the dog.
New 6 quart water container for the gang. Since they tipped the other two bowls over 3 nights in a row. I am sure this will be full of mud tomorrow.
