I dea lwith stupid chirping birds waking me up every morning..see the deer running around which is nice until they jump out in front of my car or bike........and now tonight........I let the dog out to take care of business and theres a freakin' racoon just laying in the front yard.......dog saw it before me and went after it. Thank god he came back when I called him. Any one seen a pissed off/scared racoon? This thing was hissing and growling at me. I grabbed a shovel and went after it...the thing stood up on its hind legs and growled at me....I'm not one to hurt an animal but if that thing got any closer to me I would of creamed it with my shovel. It just stood there and growled at me.....scared the crap outta me!!!
