As most of you know there is a hurricane in the gulf coming right at Panama City beach It was upgraded this morning to a 3 and they have a mandatory evacuation. Only emergency worker, police, firemen and security are supposed to stay. Tony`s sister, more cousins, and her daughter called and ask to come stay. Well of coarse they can! They arrived at noon. But they also brought their pet, its a half grown raccoon. I am a country girl but how the hell do I entertain a raccoon? They laid down for a nap. I pulled its cage over a bit so it would be able to see the t.v., I hope it likes watching t.v. As for me I came to my office, closed the door. I am mylotting and soon will fill an order for Sunshine`s homestead creations.. Yes, a raccoon.

They are fun to have around. About anything can be a toy for a raccoon. But leave it in its cage unless you plan on babysitting heavy. They can and will open cupboard and closet doors.

Tony had one as a pert too when he was a little kid, that is why his sister took this one in.

That's an odd animal to keep for a pet. And to bring it along to someone else's home?

I have never in my life thought anyone would have a racoon as a pet. They certainly don't seem very friendly. That hurricane looks pretty bad so hoping your guests don't have any damage when they can return home.

That's nice of you to let it watch TV. Did you think about what channel it might prefer?

@andriaperry So the raccoon has to watch the weather channel too? He is probably freaking out too.

They wont change the freakin channel, when I do and walk away they turn it back to the weather channel.

@andriaperry It is and I am thinking it must be some military from one of the bases there as locals should have experience and know better.

Her son in law would not hurry up and come on, then he got left and freaking out. He has 4 dogs and would not leave them.

I had an uncle that raised a raccoon once. They tend to get mean when they get mature. Or at least ChaCha did.

At least your relations were smart enough to evacuate when they could. Stay safe....I expect you'll get some of the effects, just not the full force.
