Hi Roger,
I'm glad you and your wife liked seeing the racoons. Maybe their native to the Americas? I don't know. I'll have to do a search on that!
I had a racoon as a pet when I was young. I named her Calpurnia (sp?) after one of the mothers of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet... or Cally for short... she slept on my pillow above my head and her little paws would play with my rollers (we all had rollers in our hair in those days while we slept!...well before hair blow dryers) and by morning they'd all be unrolled! LOL
Cally must have gotten out of the house because she was hit by a car. They're very clean animals but from what I understand they can get surly in their old age ... My friend Georgine had one also but hers lived a long time but didn't get surly!
*smiles* Have a great day Beth
