"Lots of people talk to animals,
not to many listen - that's the problem" Winnie the Pooh
Dave managed to find a home for me with a
wonderful educational facility where I would receive the best care, the best food and the
best medical attention. I would still be stuck in a cage though. I don't care how nice the
cage is though, there's still only so many things to touch. Being a bright, young and
intelligent raccoon, life in a cage would be so boring. Dave, and my other friend from
AWRE Kim, knew I belonged in the wild with other raccoons. So they continued their search
for someone they trusted and had the time and experience to make me wild. I would be a
real raccoon again.
My one night at AWRE with Dave and Kim, turned into twelve. Each day I found new ways to
cause havoc.There were just so many neat places to explore and curl up for naps in. It's a
good thing for me I'm so cute.
I quickly regained my proper weight and energy;
Dave and Kim finally found a new home for me. It was a long way away, but Dave and Kim
knew it was best for me. They care that much about all of AWRE's patients. My new home
came highly recommended by authorities on raccoons. It has trees and bushes and other
raccoons my age. I have a long road ahead of me to "learn" how to become a wild
raccoon again, but in three to five months I'll be wild again and ready to rejoin other
raccoons. Still I can't help but think I would have been better off, if people would just
let sleeping raccoons lie.
