Raccoon On the Deck

L ast night I was preparing to head upstairs and let Skywalker (our ankle-biter dog) outside when I noticed a visitor on the back deck.  A very large Racoon was strolling across the deck like he owned the place.  Shelly decided to let Skywalker out in the front yard so we wouldn't have a situation.

I'm sure Skywalker would NOT want to meet the racoon since he's a bit skittish about even the smallest of animals.
