This old world would be a better place if all people could just find some "Common Ground" and settle their differences. Sadly, this most likely will not happen. I know it didn't with Rascal and the trespassing raccoon. Rascal's owners were on vacation this past summer and I was put in charge of making sure he had food and water. This scene awaited me when I checked on him. I believe he had coon on his menu. The coon acted like it just wanted some peace and quiet. Rascal wasn't interested in either. Well, maybe a piece of the coon. Every time the coon tried to climb the tree, Rascal would nip him on the "you know where." We all have met someone just like Rascal. I don't know the outcome since I did my chores and left. Suffice it to say I didn't read about a dead dog or coon, so perhaps there is hope for all us.

We had a raccoon fall in love with one of our B&W cats years ago - used to come visit her at the screen door - but she had two black circles around her eyes so maybe he was confused! This is a funny image _ I Love the look on both their faces - you captured the confrontation well!

A nice scene of the two in a no go situation! Rascal looks ready to spring at the slightest movement from the coon. Good one Tick.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Great scene of dog meets coon, Tick! Good thing there were no skunks in the neighborhood.

Music is what feelings sound like.
That could turn nasty but great photo op as is. Neat pic, Tick!

Tick, you've captured this picture and have written this narrative very well. Although both of them are rascals, you've provided us a perfect illustration of an opposing world. It's a pity that you was 'forced' to go away, as I'm curious about the outcome.
Thanks for wise words as well Owd Fella!

That raccoon is arching it's back like a cat ready to pounce. Rascal is a very brave dog! Fantastic capture, Tick.

ALL IMAGES ARE VIEWED FULL SIZE
Looks like the little fellow was holding his own and the coon was backing off. Great capture.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Rascal looks like he is ready for some playtime, but the coon has different plans ... refuge in his / her tree. My dogs have gotten so use to raccoons coming around they simply ignore them now. I guess they have finally found their common ground. Excellent capture, Tick.

Life is a Constant Audition
I have read that raccoons are pretty tough characters. Great capture. Your commentary was not un-noticed as well.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
A super capture and very wise works giving food for thought. I followed your link and am glad i did - thank you !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
That racoon doesn't look too happy, perfectly timed & what an expression on Rascal face, he doesn't want this fellow on his land

This shot is just too cute for words - appears as though Rascal is intently watching the racoon for any sudden moves! Nice capture!!!

maybe not enough protein in rascals diet TicK..or he was pissed his owners left & wanted a piece of someones..well you know what. rascals was just letting the coon know that was his tree..maybe it had to pee. seems the person in charge was slacking. now i watched enough so called reality tv shows to know this..who was holding the camera? while rascal needed to be put up.. BUSTED!
