Rocky comes in to P-A-R-T-Y!
 Paw prints from dancing on the table…
bathing suit or underwear on the floor …. hummmm
 Dancing ‘till dawn… torn rugs, pillows scattered,
note: throw & kitchen towel scrunched nice & cuddly on couch!
 Dinner Time...
Cute pie-dough-centerpiece & potpourri were shared by all…
and draft-dodger made good entertainment
 Geez… even the entrance had guests dinning..
The Maid must have been trying to clean up… but left the broom out!
 Maybe this is a way out??

No wonder the
music quit….
That’s the cord to
the CD player!
Someone stole the bowl of snacks from the kitchen..
and tried to exit with it
 After eating & partying
they needed a Latrine ** (or 2)

The maid TRIED to clean

up, again, but no luck,
they still left a mess!

** Fact: Raccoons set up areas as ”latrines”… even in the woods… so

it’s not all over…”just”  at the “latrines”
 Latrine
Just a couple stairs up, or several if coming down from the loft..
Conveniently placed in the middle
 Newlyweds… Mr. & Mrs. Mouse set up house…
and Jr. was sound asleep inside tiny cabin in the woods

PS …. I vacuumed, shook out little droppings

& steamed little cabin… next trip up…
discovered Jr. was still in there ( sound
asleep) … took little cabin outside… next to
big cabin & left it there…
Party moved to Kitchen
Checking it all out …
Little paw prints…. Just about everywhere!
Someone tried to put the fire out…
 Looks like they only needed 1 extinguisher…
but what’s with all the paper towels under the sink??
Lets explore the back porch!
FUN stuff out here…
lots of things to get into
 Make a hole .. or 2
& we can haul this stuff outside!
Dang… can’t get out this way, either…..

Swing’n from the lights ?
