When I took Yuki for his walk he LOVED it! I swear, he had a little doggy grin on his face the whole time we were walking. We went all the way to the park because he was having so much fun I couldn't bear to make him go home even though it was pretty windy & miserable out there!
I saw a raccoon the other night when I was walking Yuki. It was about 1/2 a block away and it climbed down into the storm drain. That reminded me that I'd seen a raccoon on our street go slinking into a storm drain once too. I told Rick not to let Yuki sniff the drains when we're walking him at night because I don't want to deal with a raccoon attack.
Of course, now I just have images in my head of a network of tunnels and a gang of raccoons hanging out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle style beneath the streets of Crystal...
