Wow that's scary!
Re: Racoons attack jogger
I saw this on the news this morning as well! Nasty! Evil critters. I often see them when I take my dog out for a walk, and he always barks and lunges for them!
It's not the size of the dog in the fight...it's the size of the fight in the dog! 11K Marker post - 2010 ATB.

Re: Racoons attack jogger
Didn't realize that raccoons hung around in packs ... As indicated in the article, perhaps they felt their younglings were threatened by the dog ???

So freaky!
When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

They do wear masks and steal [garbage]. Now that they are organizing into gangs, people should be afraid.

Next time you are in YVR, go to Prospect Point in Stanley Park and you'll see the large pack of raccoons there.

I'll only be afraid when they get blades fitted on their feet so they can chase us down faster.......
Just kidding!
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Imagine that those blades were sharpened to also make them a weapon, then we would really be in trouble. Would make the Vancouver gangs seem like child's play.

if you can't be
with the one you love
love the one you're with
with the one you love
love the one you're with
next up:
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
