rabid racoon in my back yard!

LBaker, what a horrible experience and such a scary time you've had!

I don't know how old you son is, good for him for being able to do what he did. I know I could never do that. Ugh!


Do you have health insurance? Will that help with the vaccine costs for the 2 leggers involved?

Oh goodness, what a time! Let us know how all are doing!

Freedom, and all... my son is 39 and after my husband died a few yrs ago he and his wife and two sons moved in with me.. thank God. What a blessing it has been. But now he just takes over watching over all of us and in this circumstance putting his safety last. DIL and I are still trying to convince him the ugly treatment is the ONLY way to go. He was most exposed, DIL & I less so but will do it if that will help him be convinced to follow through Try talking to a hard-headed SOB about doing "what's best" Like most SOB's it's hard to convice him he's not infallible We are working on it.

Laurie, how scary. I hope you can convince your son to get the treatment.

We recently had a sick beaver stumble onto our patio at the apartment complex. A neighbor was walking her dog and the beaver kept stumbling towards her.

She called the police and by that time he decided to stumble around our patio. Police arrived and said, "Oh it's fine... it's just lost. Beavers don't walk well on land."

They changed their tune when the Mr Beaver kept walking into them and started to become aggitated.

They borrowed a box from me and took him away. Not sure if it was rabies, but it was not a fun situation to be in.
