Two hours ago, Nugget was barking at our fence and he wouldn't stop after I asked him nicely, so I made him come inside. He kept whining at turning in circles at the back door, so I looked outside and WHOA! There was a big fat raccoon lumbering into our yard! Nugget kept saying, "Let me at him! I can take him, I can take him! Let me at him!" But I didn't. Although I have faith in my dog--who has the heart of a champion--the raccoon was significantly larger than the Nugget, and I didn't want to risk having to break up a potential fight (because, you know, I just trimmed my nails). So I made Nugget stay inside and watch through the glass as the raccoon wandered around the backyard.
But...we might be modifying the squirrel trap in the near future. :)
