Wild thing tests hunting skills

So where was I when the latest wild thing threatened our fish, hugged our trees and generally treated our yard as a playground?
Asleep.
However, my hunting instincts soon woke me up and I rampaged around, tracking the scent of that raccoon just as I was bred to.

This morning's visitor: cute, and a good climber, too!

Raccoons, deer, fox, bear, even mountain lion all have been challenged by the likes of moi. We hounds are big. We hounds are fast. We hounds...like to sleep after a hard-charging morning. Inside, preferably, away from most wild things.
