But raccoons are our cuddly forest friends.

LOL

Pretty pathetic when a full grown human being WITH A DOG gets her ass kicked by a raccoon.

She would've called 911 about the mauling but was afraid of protests for reporting an attack by "%#*ing raccoons!".

Better her dog stirred up a racoon nest than a hornet nest. You can fight the raccoons, all you can do with the hornets is run for your life.

I sure hope they weren’t rabid.

But she'll be prepared next time. "Well, we got some bear mace," she said, with a laugh.

This may have been her wake up call from her guardian angel. Raccoons this time, next time it may be something bigger and badder. She might consider some lead as well.

My guess is she had her dog off the lease and that was the start of her problems. People who have their animals off leash in a public park are asking for problems. She could have easily done her best Sir Robin impression and ran away.

Twenty eight “marks”.

That would take about one second for the racoons I’ve met.

That is really, really not normal raccoon behavior. I’m surprised her doc hasn’t insisted on the rabies series.

Reminds me of a morning after a good coon hunt as a kid...I awoke to my skinning knife and Morton's salt to tan a few hides when my mother came out the back door looking for her little snotty nosed Pekinese...When she looked at me and asked if I had seen "Pepper" (dog's name), I held up the skinned carcass of the previous nights hunt...

After she got over that, and after I got over the affects of the Huckleberry switch, things calmed down until I was shipped off to the Corps.

Coons are tough but how would you like to have to write a lost time accident report about an employee who was attacked by a cornered beaver?

It was terrible and no laughing matter!
