A similar noise late last Wednesday night had him peering at a grape vine that grows near our back door. And lo and behold! there was a raccoon climbing the grape vine! It even made it up to the neighbor's deck! Hedgehog Dog and I waited inside for it to climb down, and when it did, it saw Hedgehog Dog through the glass door, puffed up, and hissed at us. Hedgehog Dog was utterly still for once, almost like a cat about to pounce. Then the 'coon ran away, and Hedgehog Dog was keen to go outside (for once). A few minutes later the bush rattled again, and a baby raccoon climbed out (ok, it was like a teenager, big, but not big enough). I was "eeking" and Hedgehog Dog was scrabbling and another raccoon climbed down! Three! Hedgehog Guy is trying not to be terrified that they will gang up and eat Hedgehog Dog.

Hedgehog dog drama
Oh my gosh the dog! A constant source of amusement and anxiety. Hedgehog Dog is very skittish after hearing loud noises - something related to our scarring him by taking him to 4th of July fireworks just after adopting him. Something fell over on the deck upstairs Monday night while he was on the porch below and caused him to run off the deck, then scamper back inside. His eating dinner ended up like this (below) with him fearful after every mouthful.
