Let the dog in!

As parents, we know that sometimes you end up doing something you later regret, whether it’s screaming “NO MORE TV THIS WHOLE MONTH!” or “NO MORE ICE CREAM EVER!”

Trust me, these statements are not a workable solution.

But feel better, parents, because even the wild kingdom makes mistakes.

Take for example this tree we noticed this weekend.

Some kind of evergreen on our lot. Notice that dark spot up there about 50 feet? He was there alllll afternoon, upside down.
Here’s an up-close:

A raccoon. I’m guessing male, given his totally poor planning. Just where did he think he was going?

We’re not sure if Becca treed him (oh, we’d be SO proud were that true, but really, she’s pretty entirely useless), but there he was all afternoon.

Even crows started harassing him.

For once, I feel sorry for a raccoon, don’t you?

Or does this just make target practice that much easier?
