Bandit.

6-9-26 SHORT HILLS: We had a little rain, 0.45 inches, with a lot of wind that brought down some branches. We are both finishing up with medical visits, and Judy is doing lots of dog therapy sessions at mostly schools in the area.

I’m going to need help with the yard, every thing is getting over grown, and it’s too much for me now to keep up with pruning and trimming. We are packing and organizing for the summer in VT.

We had a visit from what Alison calls a ‘trash bandit’. He was furry and masked and up a tree on garbage night. I didn’t put the cans out because I was sure he/she would get into the bags. In the morning she/he was gone, and Judy put the garbage out very early.

Can you find him/her? I saw the bandit as soon as I went out on Garbage Night.

Here's a closer look.

And a close up. Rita or Randy is pretty cute.
