Just a note for us in Saluda:

Yesterday, our dog got into a fight with a racoon while my friend and I were working in the garden, not even 100 ft away (and pretty oblivious, until the noise started up.) From my partial glimpse, the coon looked somewhere around to her size, which is about ~20 pounds. Brownie ended up with a puncture wound on her leg, and ended up at the vet, where they gave her a booster rabies shot. The scare was that it all happened at high noon, and in the creek, and apparently rabid animals follow water. The coon is gone (where?). Brownie should be fine, and has already quit limping as of this morning, although that may be some of the medicine's magic.

Just wanted to let everyone know so they could keep an eye out...

Here's to Brownie.
