We use we noses when we wented out but ebberone all gone.  It mystree to we.
MomPerson gone finish dis.

What they had found was a very young raccoon who had apparently been dropped
or fallen during a move. The trouble was, Mama was also right there, and she
would have shredded Conley AND the others in her defense of the baby. Once
the dogs were inside, she must have grabbed that kid and run like hell
because when I went back out there was no sign of her or the baby anywhere.
Thank heaven the dogs are noisey and so chicken. No one was in any real
danger except Conley and Cooper, who were too near, and Cooper was only
close because he was trying to get between Conley and the raccoon.Cooper
DOES KNOW what raccoons are, he has been firmly taught to leave them way
alone.
I suspect the Mama was a bit cowed by the presence of so many dogs, and my
approach. which was deliberately noisey, also stalled her.
I am so glad she got the baby before the boys did. I don't know if they
would have killed it, but I think they would have slobbered it to death.
(Actually, I think they would have killed it.)

MomPerson, who is tempted to crate everyone for the rest of their lives.
