Wish you would take a photo of your dog eating apricots. I would love to see that. That would be good enough to replace my bike photo I use for a screen saver.

The raccoons are cute, cute, cute. I live rurally, and the raccoons come and go, munching on kitty kibble on the front porch. They don't show up every night, but a few times a week. Last night I turned on the porch lights and there was a mommy raccoon teaching her two babies how to eat kitty kibble. The babies were about the size of an 8-10 week kitten, just little fluffs of fur.

Eden, I don't think raccoons dig up Irises. I have lots of Irises and lots of raccoons, and I've never had an Iris dug up. The culprit is probably a ground squirrel.
