Night on the town

For the past....long time, the Mann household has had frequent visitors from a wife and husband raccoon.  K, I'll admit, I don't actually know if they are husband and wife, but to be fair, they never actually confirmed nor denied the rumor so I'm just gonna go ahead and say that they were.

Anyway though! Finally, about two weeks ago, we...and I'm using the term we a little loosely here cause "we" didn't do anything..so my dad, caught one!

 We kept him on Saturday night and through part of Sunday until my parents got back from church.  Then my dad took him, (I'm gonna say it was a him) to the wild and let him loose.

Before my dad took him though, I got a chance to get up close and personal and sit down for an interview with him.

He told me that he and his wife come around on Saturdays to get out on the town.  To have a night full of fresh water and catfood.  And that they really enjoy the hospitality and the all you can eat Purina One. 

After that extremely personal info that he shared with me, my dad and Colin loaded him up and took him away.  And I felt sad, partly for me...because I'm not going to be able to stare into his beady little eyes again, and partly for him and his wife.  Because I feel like we had just ripped a family apart.  Maybe some day they will be reunited.  Maybe when "we" catch her and release her in the same spot they'll run to each other and open their arms and hug and make cute little raccoon babies...And then bring one back to me in a little white satchel and leave it on my porch.  They could be stork raccoons!
