Now that my son is taller than I am, I reserve the right to no longer be brave about creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night--or at times, during the daylight hours.The other day, I noticed the BIGGEST, UGLIEST SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN in our bathroom. Needless to say, I asked dh to "get it" which he obligingly did.
I was letting the dog out this evening and thought I saw our tabby cat out by my parked car. Then I realized it was not our cat, but a raccoon.
Sitting.
In the daytime.
On our property.
This gave me the creeps.
I quickly pulled the dog in and shut the door. The raccoon is still sitting under a bush, behind my car in the driveway, and I'm not going anywhere.

Is he gone yet?
Oh, sort of. I saw him crossing the street and then coming back, and then crossing the street again. I pray he is gone permanently!!
You would have LOVED this spider I saw in the bathroom the other day!! But, from the sounds of it, its not the quantity of the things you are putting up with at work! :0
well, as a French, I didn't know what is a raccoon.
Google Image helped me, but how bad is this animal? It looks gentle, isn't it?
Sorry for the spider: in a white bathroom, it looks twice more horrible...
Renaud,
Normally I would be fascinated with a raccoon, but they are prone to getting rabies--which is a very dangerous disease. Also, if they get too tame, they can do much damage to your property.
I react just as you do, I can't stand spiders, although I have never seen a racoon before. I hope he is long gone!
This spider was the Grand-daddy of all spiders! Huge is not even the word for it! Yuk!!
I was more freaked that the raccoon was out during the day (their nocturnal) than anything.
Hahahhahahahahah!!!!!
Sorry but that's hilarious!!! Hahahahhahhahaa!!!!
I remember a few years ago having two HUGE hairy huntsmen run UNDER my bed. I quickly and with great calm proceeded to BALL my eyes out and SCREAMMMM at the top of my lungs. Then I had the sense to grab two shoes and put a hat on my head! A hat on my head, why a hat?
Heck two HUGE spiders...I had LOST MY MIND by then!!!!
ROFLOL hahahahhahhaha!!! Sorry 4hischurch...but man YOUR FUNNY!! LOL!PS: I will be checking UNDER my bed tonight LOL
The sad thing is, marie, that I was quite brave when ds was little. Not any more!
Spiders are nothing... wait until you have a pocket full of leaches that he forgot to return to the plastic container... or when you open the fridge, you see disposable plastic container full of wax worms!
Wow-doctormom--sounds like you lead an interesting life!
We have raccoons in our neighbourhood. I have seen them a few times at night.
The creepiest thing at my house was a rat last year. Ds came home from school all excited he was going to catch the "mouse" and keep it as a pet. I ran outside after him to ensure he didn't get bit by some rabies infected thing. Turned out it wasn't a mouse but a RAT. It turned on my neighbour but he was able to kill it before it jumped at him.
I still wonder...I read Pet Cemetary. LOL.
Aaaaaa, a Rat?!?!? Yuk!!! Glad it was done away with before it could do harm to you or your ds.
