My dog is going nuts. Ugh.

oh my gosh a giant raccoon! I'd skip walking my dog tonight if I were you.

I heard the neighbors dog going crazy and looked out the front door to see those eyes and a second tail going up into the trees. DH is on his way home from the airport and I called him to tell him to come in the back because I don't want to have to go to the hospital for a raccoon bite!

Yikes! I hope the barking doesn't wake up your boys.

Amazingly enough they both slept through it. Now the dog is passed out in my lap. Exciting times at the gadget household.

We have rattlesnakes in TN. And lately there have been reports if scorpions. We don't need that shit. I want to know why nobody ever took the time to domesticate raccoons.

I do believe that some people have pet raccoons.

Yeah, in the city/college town I lived in before I got married, there was a man who had three pet raccoons. I saw him more than once at Wal-Mart with one of them draped around his neck. And I would pass his truck on the road and see a raccoon hanging out the window, like a dog.
