Thanks to all for the responses concerning this dilemma. My brief encounter with the creature only confirmed that it was small with a long thin tail. I did look at pictures on line but couldn’t decide for sure what iit was. I think my best bet would be to put a trail camera on the dock and catch him in action. We did that once before and caught what we thought was a large muskrat eating my potato vines in the planters. Based on what y’all have suggested, I’m beginning to think it’s a young muskrat.  Thanks again.
