Jim and I are at the cabin for our anniversary (without the kids)! Yesterday morning, we went down to the lake to do some fishing.
When we got to the boat, the tarp was ripped and filled with water. Damn! That stupid tarp was expensive ($800) and this is the second time it ripped. It ripped last year after a big snow storm.
As Jim and I are working to get the water out of the boat, the dogs are going crazy sniffing the boat. I told Jim, "there must have been something on the boat because the dogs are super interested." Just then, a raccoon comes shooting out the back door of the boat, runs across the back of the boat next to us and into the water! Daisy rips off after it and jumps in the water. Ahi runs down the dock and yips and cries at all the action!
We think the raccoon climbed up under the dock because we never saw it again. Jim hauled Daisy out of the water and we made them come back to the boat. We didn't want them getting attacked by a raccoon!
It was all very exciting!
Luckily, the raccoon had not been living there -- there was no evidence of setting up house! We were really worried that when we took the tarp all the way off, we would find 3 raccoon babies!
