Run! It is a Raccoon...
Great story posted in the Dog Lovers group. Enjoy!
A quiet evening about 10:30 p.m. I check my BlackBerry as I am hoping to get another offer on a great listing we have. I am getting sleepy watching TV with my husband and two large dogs. Check the BlackBerry again...there is another offer...YES! I go into my office, sit down at my desk and start looking through the offer (in Montgomery County, Maryland our offers are typically 60 pages more or less so it can take some time). I see a little movement under my desk...isn't is nice that my dog Kira wants to keep me company while I look this over.
ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!!! BARK! BARK! BARK! My other dog, Spenser starts going crazy...barking at Kira under the desk...
My husband runs in the room thinking the dog's bark wasn't right....
I look under the desk and instead of Kira....it is a Raccoon! A Raccoon! Yes, a Raccoon...
Not a dead Raccoon (because I do have two really big and tough dogs)....but a live RACCOON!!!
RUN!!!! EVERYONE RUN!!!!
We run...close the door...how on earth is there a RACCOON under my desk?!?!?!
We call our County Division of Animal Services...they were there in 15 minutes....captured the Raccoon and caged it. Whew! It seemed over...until he told us that if it didn't injury anyone they had to let it go on our property! Yikes, that doesn't sound like a good plan. Alas, it didn't injury anyone so it was let go...hopefully, never to be seen again by us.
But you can be sure...that I don't sit at my desk without looking and checking that it is Kira under my desk!Yvette Chisholm, Associate Broker, MD, DC, VA
