As we were at the house after dinner, Josh and Jake were on the
tractor about to do some work when Josh and the boys came hustling into
the garage. There were two young coons in the backyard and it was only 8
at night (with lots of daylight still).
Josh got the gun
and shot the little guys...who we think are two of the kids from the mom
we shot while camping last week. They are probably so hungry because
their mom isn't there to help. We are hoping that the third young one
we saw has left the tree as well. But I'm sure time will tell.
Now, Joe's re-enactment of Josh shooting them was hilarious. Josh had
to shoot one of the coons a few times. So, as Joe was telling Mama and
Papa about the coon, he ran (darted actually) across the room, dropped
to the floor making a "shot" sound, and rolled on his back kicking his
arms and legs in the air. I was laughing at this point because it was
so accurate...so I don't know if he did a second "shot".
Jake
asked why there wasn't much blood. (amazing what TV and books can do to
formulate the assumption of a lot of blood in a death)
