Saturday morning (6/18), as we were enjoying our morning coffee, our dogs Mac & Juice raised such a racket I had to go check out what the hullabaloo was all about. Turned out to be a very frightened raccoon up our flag pole. Here's another view. We dragged Juice inside, which being a 70 lb redbone coonhound, was not easy. However, we are experienced in this "procedure". Mac, we could not catch, but being a shepherd/Doberman mix, he was not really into raccoons, and lost interest.

Generally, we don't see raccoons in the day time, so this poor thing made a mistake I don't think he, or she, will ever make again!
