Critters around the house

The other night Richard came running in the house telling me I HAD to come outside - "And bring the camera!"  I'm thinking "It's cold, but okay, it must be something good"  He tells me he saw some raccoons run up the tree in the front yard.  So, we go out there, flashlight in hand, and he searches for 5 minutes before we finally find this.

It was the funniest sight!  They were "playing dead"  Neither one of them moved the entire time we were out there - even the one that is hanging upside down!  

Then at lunch yesterday, I was outside with Murphy when I heard something barking at me - and it wasn't Murphy.  I look up to see this.

You think he's out to get me??

Don't worry, Mr. Squirrel, I'm not after your nuts.  :o)

Murphy didn't even notice him.

He was too busy rolling around in the grass so that he can bring it inside for me to sweep off the floor. 

Thanks Murphy.
