Guess what I have in my house right now?

I haven't had the time yet to go get out the camera and then load the pics online, but here's a link to a related image. (Only two though ( Read more... )

I feel the need to ask...how? And also...why?

We have family friends who live out in the country on a ranch. They have recently come across two different baby 'coons. Too young to survive on their own and too hard to find their family. (The first one was about a week ago, the second one is only about a week OLD)

The dad is a professional rodeo rider (he's kind of the Michael Jordon of bronc riding, actually. Six time national champion. Any one who knows ANYTHING about the sport knows his name.) AND the mom just recently started back on the barrel-racing circuit. They both had a rodeo event this weekend and their son (whose my little brother's age and a close friend) spent the night here instead of traveling with them. (The kids usually go. In fact, they all participate in junior events. But there weren't any this time)

SO, since the kits have to be bottle-fed about six times a day ... extra house-guests!

They are pretty amazingly adorable. Even more so than those in the picture.

The little one is only about as long as your hand from nose to tail!

I want one! But my dog would probably eat it. =/

Hmm, he might try for now. But once they grow up, believe me, they can hold their own ( ... )
