Critter alert! Shadow was barking frantically announcing the presence of an animal in our backyard at 6 a.m.  I grabbed my iPhone, slipped on some shoes and headed in the direction of Shadow's barking recording video as I approached the far corner of our fenced in yard. The early morning sky in the background beneath tall fir trees made a perfect silhouette of a family of five Raccoons, mom and four kits, some standing and some sitting sitting on the top of the fence watching me as I approached. Mom then decided it was time to escape the threat of dog and man, went first over a wire fence barrier onto the neighbors fence where she waited for her four kits to follow. The first two kits were quick to climb over the obstacle, but the third kit struggled then finally reached safety. The fourth and last kit did not even try to scale the wire barrier, and instead, dazed and confused, reversed direction and then climbed up into a tree where it still remains as of this writing, more than seven hours later.
