Friday, we were at our cabin in Sevierville, TN. Mike & Bill Adkins had gone to Chattanooga to pick up a couple of ice cream machines for the new Sundae’s. We planned to leave just as they got back- to go to Dollywood. To save time, Anthony came down to the truck to eat the pizza they left in Ralph Morgan’s borrowed truck. We were upstairs in the cabin, about to come down.
Suddenly, Anthony ran in saying, “There’s a raccoon in the truck!” While he was eating (& watching a DVD) he looked up to see a raccoon sitting on the middle console. (Mike had left the front door open because we were coming right down.) Anthony thought at first his dad had put a Davy Crocket coonskin cap there to scare him. THEN the raccoon looked up at him with his big brown eyes. And Anthony - also seeing the raccoon’s claws stretched out on the console - took off running!
We ran downstairs, broom in hand, to chase the raccoon out of the truck.
Mike cleaned the pizza-stained seat, and Bill kindly shared his pizza with Anthony. The pictures are the raccoon enjoying the rest of the pizza!
