"...a raccoon had been in the yard and acting strangely."

Rabies? Please, please, be very careful...

[egg_shell]

We'll definitely be careful...

Rabies is a constant worry with raccoons, possums, and skunks--particularly when the wild animal loses its fear of humans and won't run off.

When I was a kid, we didn't have leash laws in the city where I grew up and we'd often see neighborhood dogs roaming about on our way to and from school.

Then we had a rabies epidemic in town and our parents and teachers talked to us about not petting strange dogs and I think we even saw a movie about it. (This was in the mid-50s, so you can imagine what the movie was like, lol.)

I think every kid in my school was traumatized for weeks. Probably would've recovered more quickly from the rabies...

I HATE raccoons! I hope Dave shoots it.

[egg_shell]

I hate them too. I've seen what they will do to a flock of chickens. Nasty things.

I hope the chickens will be safe!

[egg_shell]

So far so good. Nothing bothered them last night.

[howlin_wolf_66]

Glad to hear it. :-)
