If any coon is idiotic enough to get past the fences and into the garage with two dogs, then I suppose he deserves what he gets. Before the dogs arrived we used to have a path across the yard (one end was open where there is now a gate) and it was a huge old possum who made a trek across the yard to the creek every morning. I saw him in the driveway a time or two. He was killed in the street last winter (boo hoo) and no one has come to replace him. Just as well.

I've seen discussions about the damage a coon can do to dogs, and there are some big coons here. But there isn't dog food out to attract other animals, and these two big pups would give anything a run for it's money at the age they're at. The pit bull is becoming quite a solid tank, and the catahoula is a busy herding animal. I went in to "tuck them in" in the garage tonight and they were happy to have me sit on their bed so they could roll around and get petted. I don't think they'd greet a racoon so graciously.
