I wanted to share an older story about my daughter who was 10 at the time.
It was a small article in the online version of Traverse Magazine.
She is 16 now, and would kill me if she knew i was doing this.

2 years ago i heard this awful screaming and growling in our woods. I went out to see what the comotion was and here she comes, holding something by its tail, and it does not like it.
It was a almost full grown racoon. Her story was that our dogs had something treed and she went to investigate.
While standing there the racoon jumped/fell onto our dog Momo's back, and so she reached over and grabbed him by the tail to get him off her dog.
Again, another lecture about wild critters and rabies was given.

Im confused, I saw the newspaper article about the hawk but u mentioned a racoon and dogs. Is it just me?

Brave girl.

By the way, if she is anything like my daughters were at that age, she would indeed be furious with you!

Sorry I built the story out of order.
She caught the hawk when she was 10.
She carried the racoon to the house when she was about 14.
She was 16 when I wrote this thread.
She will soon turn 18.

Oh Yes!
That is why I never plan to tell her about it.
