She actually bottle-fed them and raised them till they were old enough to fend for themselves and could be released into the wild. Ask Patrick about them. We have pix of him holding them and playing with them when they were about 4-6 weeks old! My sister, Kelly, rescued some baby racoons whose mother was hit by a car in front of her house.

He had to drown them because they were on the edge of death anyway, and their momma was never coming back anyway. Poor raccoons. But, get those rats, Cathy!

I filled in the hole, but am almost certain they are living under the concrete. When I went out back with Murphy and told him to go get 'em, he ran back and forth along the edge of the fence sniffing. I think they have tunneled out an area about 15-20 feet long. Possibly part of the reason we are having problems with the retaining wall collapsing ... or maybe a result of the retaining wall collapsing. Your damn right!
