Brief background about our dog
Wife was looking to adopt the"perfect" dog. 2 years old trained on leash, house broken, kids, cats, blah blah blah. Not going to happen.
SURPRISE!!!!! We adopt a 1.5 year old healer mix female, was everything except spayed,
Does yoga
Cheap lawn ornament

Gentlest dog we ever had. We watched her one day screwing around with a spider, Literally pick it up between teeth w/out damaging it and moving from here to there
Now squirrels thats another story, stalks them like wiley coyote. Not move for 10-20 minutes till they feel safe in the yard

In the shop tonight when bam..........sound of a chase, chain link being hit, barking, going crazy All this from a dog who rarely barks if at all .Looks like we found something else she doesn't like
APOLOGIES FOR REAL POOR PIC QUALITY, I had to limp to the house grab camera and take pic

Yep Racoons!! She woke me up again 10 min ago , Barking, charging the door, all this from a dog who loves kids rolling around with her. So i have to sweep the yard b4 letting her out. A cornered coon will tear a dog into hamburger, not feeling like a drive to a vet this am.
Thanks Mother Nature

Now to get a few more zzz' before range time.
