Huckleberry, our neighbor Jack’s dog, is a big, friendly, goofy fella that loves frisbee. He drops the frisbee at your feet and barks until you throw it. Lori and I hear Huck’s loud, husky bark several times a day as he and Jack are out front playing. Yesterday, however, we heard Huck make an odd, almost torturous sound we’d never heard before. Turns out, the local family of raccoons were out wandering and took exception to Huck’s running over to greet them. Apparently, they attacked Huck en mass, thus Huck’s painful wail.
By the time Lori and I got outside Jack had chased the raccoons up a cedar in our front yard. There they were, four or five of them, two-thirds of the way up the 75 foot tree just hanging out.
It was tough getting good shots, these raccoons would look away whenever they noticed my camera aimed at them. Apparently they’re a camera-shy bunch. I did manage to get a few good shots and thought I’d share.
