Rocky goes on a dinosaur hunt

..but fails, for now

Rocky Raccoon was out on one of his closely-supervised excursions in the yard, and I actually had my camera with me. I spotted several dinosaurs, and Rocky spotted this one as well -- from way across the yard. By the time he bounded to the tree it scampered up, with Rocky in semi-lukewarm pursuit. To his credit, Rocky was able to find his way down the tree without much difficulty, but the dinosaur escaped to live another day. (Picture is blurry due to improper camera setting.)

If Rocky had caught it, I would have made him release it. I can't stand when he kills "my" lizards, I don't even like when he flattens the many crickets that manage to find their silly ways into the house. Cockroaches are another story, but those stories are too gross to tell here :P
