  Undecided

  Hi Mimilly,

  The other day when I was going down my daughters driveway(a mile long out in the country) I saw a mother racoon and three babies running across the driveway. I usually see deer, wild turkeys, beavers, rabbits, snakes and about every other wild animal you can name. I love it out there. Sometimes I hear animal sounds I can't identify and wonder what it is. I haven't seen a bear yet or a wild cat but I think there are some out in the woods near the river. There are some pretty flying hawks and owels too. It's only ten minutes away from my home in town.

  Undecided - I would love to live in the country. It's sad when animals and 'civilization' collide. Animals always get the crappy end of the deal and we're the ones imposing on them.

  Lost Diamond

  Mimilly,

  How sweet! I lived up a forrested part of Gresham, Oregon when I once counted 6 racoons out on my deck one night. My kids were delighted as we watched them. The younger ones were especially cute! I still see quite a few of them killed on the road on my way to work when I drive through farming areas. It's a shame...a lot of folks see them as pesky pests. I still think they're cute!

  We have possums here in California, dreadful creatures, ugly, will fight your cats and cut them up pretty bad.
