We have 2 blue heelers and they love to get teh coons.... One time we heard a big squirmish and to my horror the next day, I went out to my hosta garden and there lay a mam racoon, dead (which was fine by me) but the destruction that they reeked on my garden was devistating.... tags everywhere, leaves and stems all over the place. Not a hosta was left standing -- although 4 weeks later new little leaves emerged!!
