Our seven-year-old Border Collie, Twiggy, has a new friend – a raccoon! While Monique and I were in San Francisco my parents moved into the house to look after the kids and told us the story of the raccoon coming to visit. Last night he came back and tonight he was on the deck again.

I was sitting in the family room doing some work when I saw something moving on the deck by the sliding doors. Sure enough there was the raccoon. Twiggy was furious and started jumping at the door and barking, growling and showing her teeth in the most vicious way she could.

The raccoon stood there and stared at her. The only thing that could have been more insulting to the poor dog was if the raccoon had of yawned – it was kind of funny.

Now Twiggy is laying by the door barking at nothing, waiting for the raccoon to come back. Every once in a while she will bark and scare the hell out of Monique and I, which I’m sure she finds equally as funny.
