The dog was out in the yard just a short while ago barking so I went out to see who she was barking at. Well, she was standing in the middle of the yard barking towards the corner. The neighbors behind us weren't out in their yard but the neighbors on the side were, but she was barking at the other corner. So I walked over to see the big deal was and she was jumping forward barking and then backed up quickly. I heard something on the other side of the fence and assumed it was a cat. Nope it was rustling around too much under the neighbors shed, it must be a ground hog! Nope, it had a nice white racing stripe as I was standing about 5 feet away from it and that's all I needed to see!
I took off across the yard and the dog thought I was playing and chased me down! Unfortunately, she stepped on my foot and one of her nails is really, really sharp and shredded my toe! Time to let our neighbor know he has a skunk living under his shed before he has people over to use the pool!
I think the dog will be staying in the house for now as well. And I need to figure out how to stop this toe from bleeding!
