raccoon, you say?

430am. "BOW! Bow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Bowww! Bow! Bow-ow-oooow!" Guess who has treed a raccoon. Good girl. Very impressive. It took considerable convincing and, eventually, physical inducement to get her to let him go about his business. It was fun to see her so lively for a little bit there. She had a very good time, and was understandably proud of herself. We were too.
