Is that a Raccoon in the Floor or is the Rug just Happy to See Me?

This is a picture of Mazie, the dog's, favorite toy.
And this is how I find it 9 times out of 10, after she's been playing with it.

AAAGGGHHHHH!!!!

Try walking into a room and finding that in the middle of the floor.

Scares the stuffin' out of me everytime!
