This morning, while having breakfast, my mom and dad suddenly freaked out and ran into the backyard (I was still in bed at this time, but I heard what was going on). Mom said something about getting Peach inside, and at first, I thought that maybe she caught another bird and wanted to bring it inside (but then Mom and Dad would want her to stay outside). So then I thought that maybe the neighbor’s dog (the people who live behind us) jumped over the wall into our yard again*.

*The neighbor’s dog once jumped over the wall in our yard a couple times. We found out that they have some sort of a planter/shelf with plants, that the dog was able to use to jump up.

I heard the side gate open and close, thinking that maybe the dog’s owners came to collect her. But when Mom came back in, she said there was a raccoon in our yard. :O And the reason why they were freaking out over Peach was because she was following behind it. :O

Well, it came back again, and this time, I got out of bed to take a look. I didn’t have my glasses on, but I did get a good look at it running through the backyard. :3

We’ve gotten other animals in our yard before (a heron, opossum, coyotes out on the street during the evening—our street’s next to a creek). But this was the first raccoon to get in our yard. Now I’m waiting for it to come back and invite its friends for a grub party, like what happened at Jeidai’s house.
