My dog is fine, though, which is the most important thing to me. The raccoons scratched my arm kinda bad and my legs are covered in scratches. My doctor can’t be sure if the raccoons had saliva on their claws, and wants me to get rabies shots just in case. She sent me to an ER because she can’t get the shots in our area.
I’ve been at the hospital for 3 hours and haven’t been seen.
It’s after my bedtime and I have to wake up at 5am for work…
I’m not having a good time.
Damn Trash Pandas!
Also, rabies is no joke. Hope you get your shots soon!
I just got them. I swear to God if the raccoons come back…
You are now immune so fight them back! Lots of?biting and clawing until they accept you as their leader.
So sorry! please update us.
Raccoons can Fuck off
Man, that’s a rough day. Get those shots, though.
It’s never too late to take up hunting. You’ll need an Elmer Fudd hat and a heart of vengeance
I don’t know what state you are in but you can use your sick time for doctors appointments.
I’m out of sick time. I used all of it when I had horrible ovarian cysts.
horrible ovarian cysts
is there another kind
Out of sick time?! What kind of sadistic devilry is that?
Oh dang, sorry you had to deal with that.
I’m most relieved that your pal (dog) is ok. Sucks a bunch. Hope you’re both doing well.
My dog being okay is the most important thing. I almost took my puppy outside first, which would have been so bad. She’s too young for her rabies shot still, so it would have been bad if she had been out there. She isn’t much bigger than the raccoons were. My adult dog is twice the size of the raccoons, and has had his shots.
I already had fears of this happening to me. Yep. I don’t know if I should have read this. I just had 5 or 6 of those adorable little assholes come running at me, snarling and snorting and growling at me last week.
I’m sorry this happened to you. Hope you feel better, and so happy you and your dog are mostly ok.
I totally would have punted the raccoons across the yard if I had seen them coming.

I don’t know that I’d consider this “mildly” infuriating. Good on you for having any semblance of composure!

Thanks. I was panicked for a while, but the whole thing is absolutely absurd. Like, how many people get jumped by 3 young raccoons immediately after stepping outside.
