Our friends, Jerry and Shawna, have raccoons for the summer. The raccoon family was found in a chimney and upon finding them the mother ran off. The babies were too small to make it on their own and since they had to remove them, Shawna was called and told if she didn't come get them they would be put to sleep. She is good with animals and has had raccoons before. She keeps them for the summer and then lets them go in the mountains in the fall. You may know that raccoons don't domesticate. They always turn wild as adults. But when they're babies they're so sweet, cuddly and fun. Preston was as enthusiastic as he ever is about most anything.
Paige is especially in love with the raccoons. Incidentally, Michelle took 2 of the 4 and is keeping them for a month or so to help Shawna out. So we go over to Michelle's occasionally to see them. This is Paige and Benj having fun with one of the raccoons at Shawna's.
Shawna is feeding one of the babies a bottle and also pictured is Nicholas, Jonathan and Benj.
I thought I'd be nice and include a pic of me for once. I'm not feeling beautiful, but I'm so happy and excited to be having another baby ... a girl in case you didn't know.
