That sounds nasty. I hope you are doing Ok. My Maggie saw a raccoon in our yard this morning and twisted my fingers so much I was afraid she would break one. I always take her on the leash before daylight because of raccoons but I guess I need to be more careful how I hold the leash. The raccoon went up a tree and she did her best to climb up after him. People don't believe me when I tell them how strong she is.
