Coon Hound

Got out of bed, opened my window blinds and noticed Cort laying in the yard, staring up a tree. As soon as he spies me, he jumps to his feet and starts leaping and twisting and spinning in the air, all while loudly vocalizing an alert to a trespassing varmint.







Looking pleased with himself, but always goofy with one ear up-one ear down.




He doesn't howl, he doesn't bay, he has an annoying high pitched yip, yip, yip, that gets our attention.






She's b a c k...... every few months she wanders over, gets treed, then high-tails it out of here when we distract Cort and no one is looking.




She's large, she's cute, but we don't want her nesting here and raising a family again. Can't blame her for trying though, this is a nice place to live.

It's good to know that Cort keeps the place safe for the cats. Dogs can be nice to have around!

Good Cort! Wonder if they make raccoon houses you can put somewhere far away from the house.
