Wish I could've gotten a photo of the raccoon that was in our garage this
morning but I didn't even think to get the camera. The racoon was
emaciated. Both of its eyes were matted shut (it actually looked like it
didn't have any eyes). It was drooling something fierce. It couldn't even
hear us & did not try to flee, but anything that sick, no way I'm gonna
grab at it. We called animal control to have it put out of its misery but
by the time they arrived, the raccoon had accidentally found its way out
of the garage, fell over a ledge, & staggered away through the alley.
Ain't nature charming.

A raccoon kit took up residence in my yard for about a week. It fed from
our garbage can and lived in the tree just outside our front door. We
last saw it in the arms of a young boy walking up the street, its
forepaws around the boy's neck, pet and provider reunited at last.
