When I was telling my mom about seeing 2 of the babies, she interrupted me with a bad situation at my sister's.

My sister lives in Tehachapi, with a big gully running behind her house. They deal with skunks, snakes and raccoons. There has also been reports of mtn lions running in that gully.

They used to feed the raccoons, because they were so cute. That lasted about a month. Now the only food the coons get is when they forget to pick up the cat food at night. The raccoons are really prevalent, there almost every night.

She also has 2 dogs, doxies.

I had no idea that a raccoon will not run away, but stand and fight. Luckily it just missed Allie's anal gland when it bit through her rectum. Lila's missing pad will eventually stop oozing every time the bandage is changed. Their puncture wounds will heal, and the vet said no lasting damage.

I will never be able to look at a raccoon the same way again.

Oh, and after living in Tehachapi for 13 years, she is finally having trouble with deer in her garden.
