Coons in the barn
Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 5:17 pm
Well Friday night at the Barnyard Bash Rick Prentice told me he saw a huge racoon run into the barn. I took the dogs in but they didn't pick up a scent. Rosie and I just figured his Mountain Dew was spiked and he was seeing things.
Monday night I heard a growl and squeal while working out there and thought one of the dogs had another rabbit. Then I heard a racket in the rafters. For those who have seen Bob's rafters you know they are pretty high up. But there it was, a giant old coon cutting across the boards. about eight feet away was another.
I went to the front of the barn and called the dogs off the porch. Once they got there I took them to the loft. One sniff and they spent the night waiting for the coons to come back. Last night the loft was the first place they went. I reckon they will hang around there now that they know they have a challenge. I have a feeling the coons will relocate.
Sorry we doubted you Rick! Now the dogs have something to do.
