Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for September 02, 2013

Sigh! I live in an apartment; does anyone know where I can find a raccoon? :-D

@Rose

Or, you could write…“Spotted one of nature’s ninja trying to uncover my family’s background.”

AND they carry rabies. But their kits are really cute.

Raccoons can carry rabies but you would need to be bitten or scratched before getting it. However, they often DO carry canine distemper, and since this particular disease can live on surfaces for about 24 hours, make sure your dogs are vaccinated against it. As far as digging up your lawn, it is more likely skunks digging for grubs and worms. They are prodigious diggers. If you want to avoid most wildlife, don’t make your property a buffet for them. Cover your garbage cans, and don’t feed the cat outdoors. Domestic animals should be kept indoors, especially at night when most wildlife is roaming in search of food.

Ray C: All mammals are capable of carrying rabies.,Night-Gaunt49: Or Procyon lotor in any language. The brains aren’t the problem, but the lack of an opposable thumb. Any surviving primate would be a better candidate.

Ah Creative Writing can change anything into exciting.

The way most people act, I’d say the raccoon’s brain pan size us adequate

Raccoons also slaughter chickens. My daughter has lost several this way.My mom had to pay $$ to have someone get the raccoons out of her attic . . .

Pasquale and Rose make quite the writing team . . .

Oh what’s a little embellishment now and then?
