OH MY!!!! I was ready to cry with relief by the time I got to the end of your post! I could step right in and put myself in your shoes. I live in a populated subdivision in Houston. My husband gets up and walks at 5:00 AM and often when he's leaving my two yorkies wake up and want to go outside. I almost ALWAYS would open the back door and let them out because we have a privacy fenced in yard. Well, for whatever reason......that particular morning I turned on the outside light before letting them out and there stood a HUGE raccoon looking at me in the door!! Of course, they were wild to get at him, but I was frozen in terror (yes, I'm a wimp) and he ran away instantly. I just left them in the house and told them if they had to go that bad, they'd have to go on the floor! I waited till husband got home and it was daylight before I let them out! NOW, I don't dream of letting them out without turning on the light. We, also, have NO food outside, so I don't know what he was doing there.......it's scary! I'm so glad both of your yorkies are okay. Even your female is probably stressed to the max! I hope everyone on here is paying attention!!!!!!!!!! |
