It was tough going and my pups started whimpering. I stopped and picked them up.
“We’ll be out of this in a few minutes,” I said, “and then you’ll be all right.”
I came plowing out of the matted mass and was right on the trap before I realized it.
I was met by a loud squall. I was so surprised I dropped the pups. There he was, my first coon.
He was humped up on the sycamore log, growling and showing his teeth.
He kept jerking his front paw, which was jammed deep in the hole I had bored.
He was trapped by his own curiosity. I couldn’t move and I felt like my wind had been cut off.
I kept hearing a noise but couldn’t make out what it was. The movement of the boy pup shook me from my trance.
The unidentified sound was his bawling. He was trying to climb up on the log and get to the coon.
I yelled at him and darted in to get hold of his collar. On seeing my movement, the coon let out another squall.
It scared me half to death. I froze in my tracks and started yelling again at my pup.
The girl pup worked around behind the coon and climbed up on the log.
