The Perils of Pinot ... part ?

[Freedom]

Goodness me! So, Pinot was running TO the raccoon, or away from it? Sounds like TOWARDS it!

Heal quickly, Coop! In such a situation, you do what you can to keep everyone safe, and worry about the details like scruffing and not 'tailing' later. It worked, except YOU ended being the one looking beat up! LOL Feel better soon.

Makes you wonder: do I leave nails long in case she DOES reach the raccoon, so she has a fighting chance? Or clip them, so I don't get shredded?!

Oh Pinot!!! Are you giving Mom & Dad more gray hair again? You could have ended up with more than a somewhat sore tail and bruised ego if you had made contact with that funny looking kitty. Please just stick to chasing bugs - okay?

Hope Coop's battle scars aren't too bad.

I think if Coop hadn't stopped Pinot she would wear a raccoon fur coat by now -so we think it is ok he stopped her as fur is soooo out of style

All is well, thanks y'all! As for 'was Pinot running towards or from'? Definitely towards.

I knew it, I JUST knew it! LOL Pinot, life is never boring with you around!

Pinot what a little tigress you are!!! I'm sure you were just trying to protect your turf from the invading raccoon. Glad you and your daddy are safe if a bit scrached.

Yep, grabbing the tail is our last line of defense sometimes. Just ask Chip!!! He got grabbed by his when he made a break for the back door one time.

Pinot, I'm so sorry you suffered the indignity of a sore tail, but think of this: Your Daddy was just trying to avoid a disaster! Just think of what might have happend if you had reached that racoon. That racoon was very lucky!
