I'll have to tell you about the raccoons that moved into my mother's house in Arkansas. She trapped several, one of which had friends that tried to help it escape. When she and my dad moved out, they took over the entire interior for a while.
"...she padded their head and combed her fingers through their hair. The whole time, she made a chittering sound as if she were telling us about her day." Isn't that "life?" So sweet and then the big challenge and then.... Thanks. She is adorable and I hope she found a mate.
Dee what a wonderful adventure you had with Rascal. Your parents were kind to let you keep her and nurse her to adulthood. What a character she was! You describe her affection and antics well. It must have been hard to let her go, but maybe she did find other raccoons to join with. Hopefully so.

I love this story. You brought Rascal to life for us. And I appreciate your father's gender-based division of labor. Lucky for you! 😀
