[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 26315, member: 3353"] Calling and reporting this is just the right thing to do, Timer. We had a raccoon in our yard once? And he was a big one, and he was just sitting there, watching us. So, because we live in this little tiny town, and I did not know who to call, I called our policeman. (That would be the same one who brought me home from the library the day I locked the keys in the car. husband still had not recovered from that one when the same policeman shows up again ~ with a rifle, this time. Although husband began to smile, thinking maybe the policeman had finally had it and decided to just go ahead and incarcerate me, he was only there for the raccoon.) Anyway, the policeman SHOT THE RACCOON ON THE SPOT. He told us to bleach everything down around the area where the racoon had been, and to keep our own animals away from there. Apparently, there WAS a thing going around, and ours was not the only raccoon the policeman had to shoot. He did not even take the body. He said there had been any number of them examined, and they had all had whatever it was. So, if there is something going around, your local public health department should know what it is and what you should do about it. Or, you could call your police station and ask whether they know what might be causing such strange behavior in the local squirrel population. Oh, by the way? (I know you like a good story, Linda.) After the policeman shot the raccoon? husband asked him whether, as long as he had his gun out anyway? He could just go ahead and shoot husband's wife for him, too. [img]:rofl:[/img] That part is a joke. Whenever I tell the raccoon story though? I always throw that part in. Barbara [/QUOTE]
