PET RACCOON?!?!?! Seriously?! Oh my gosh, I want a pet raccoon so badly! I've been "raising" several generations of raccoons since the great great grandparents first came to our door one cold and snowy winter night a few years back. I keep telling the hubby I want to take in one of the babies each year when there's a new family that comes. He always says NO! I really wanted to take in one of the crippled coons that was born two years ago. He's so sweet and we touch hand to paw through the doorwall when he comes at night. He always looks in and gets my attention before he starts eating. Now he has lost one of his ears besides being crippled. He's a scrapper! I love him though!
Anyway, I loved the photos and story of how the pet birds in China get to go out for walks and socialization! That's awesome! We bought our Eclectus a leash so we could take him out with us, but we have yet to follow through on training him to get used to it. We'd love to take him to a park with us. He's such a good bird! One of these days...
