I vote a raccoon, they can slip in, are "brave" and very terriatorial, leaving piles where ever they are. And their piles can look like dog.

And we have an answer! It was our LGD Louie 
He was standing on the goat trough, climbing and pulling himself through the small side opening of our hay feeder, then having himself a good time peeing and pooing in the barn, opening the catfood bin and having an extra meal, then climbing back!
He was busted before we even got the camera set up because he also helped himself to half of a bottle of spectogard that my mom had borrowed and returned.
The pink med was all over his face (he is okay btw--I was freaking out at first but he is fine).
Camera set up is about half done. My brother is helping with this project and had to get some parts but should be done today or tomorrow. I am so excited to try them out. And wow will it save me a ton of icy trips to the barn. Our baby monitor doesn't work in the new building so last year I just camped out there a few times.

Silly dog! Guess maybe you should increase his rations just a bit so he isn't so hungry (and fills out so he can't fit through small holes)

That Louie is a character! We THOUGHT we had the problem fixed until yesterday. He is my boy for sure and yesterday it was our other dog's turn for a walk (my mom and I take two of the six dogs, rotating their turns, on a 4 miles walk around the block once a week or so).
Louie was sooo jealous and climbed the wall despite our improvements, came charging after me to go too. We were already down the road a bit when I heard my husband holler for me and there was Louie, happily making his way over to me. Doofus!! Back to the barn he went. He really is a good boy, but his preference for me over everyone else is kind of a pain sometimes. When we walk, he and Charlies both will "protect" me when cars drive past, pushing their bodies against me and putting themselves between the car and me. I seriously love those dogs. Don't know how we never had them.
I other news, plans are underway for the spring projects: a covered chicken play yard, a revised veggie garden, and an improved processing area in the barn.

Happy Tuesday!
I will be off until next Tuesday and am looking forward to a bit of a break I hope. The first thing on my list finish a table set I am sanding and antiquing in my garage. Time to do hooves and fecals too. Our vet is coming out to do the dogs vaccinations and exams so should be able to knock out a lot off our list.
In other news, I am ecstatic that my grandmother was told she is moving into assisted living Friday and out of the nursing home ward. In July, right after the fair, we got a call that we had better get up to Michigan because she was going to pass. Had a ruptured, twisted bowel and though they were going in for surgery to try to save her, they said it wasn't likely. BUT HALLELUJAH she made it through, though has been a rough road since then. Therapy, couldn't go home again, lots of set back, secondary infections. We helped get her house sold, moved her here so we could all help with care. It was a rough 6 months but WOOHOOO!
