Your soul is OPEN-MINDED. Although you do have
strong opinions and make decisions, you never
make them without thinking first of not only
everything that is, but those that may not be
as well. People trust that you'll willingly
hear them out and understand when they tell you
something, and you are well-liked for it. You
are often the mediator in disputes and your
desire to do what is right overcomes all else.
You are an understanding and admirable soul.

More raccoon stories....

...or don't encourage me, I'll only write more of this.

A couple of nights ago, I was preparing the courtyard of the nightly party. I was near the bottom of a large bag of kibble, so I just turned it upside down and scattered it about. A trial sized foil packet of a different flavor of food fell out, and I put it on the chair, meaning to bring it inside after I'd finished the chores. Of course I forgot all about it until I looked out and saw two of the babies with their front paws in a water bowl, bouncing up and down on the packet. Okay, I thought; it's now a coon toy. An hour later I got up to see if they needed more of anything, I saw one of the babies tearing through the courtyard making ferocious little growls, the packet clenched in his mouth. The next morning I found the packet shoved in a crack between the concrete stoop and a large block of wood.

Last night, I went to get some grapes out of the fridge and when I came back, one of the babies was wrestling with a skunk! He was half on top of her, his little arms wrapped around her middle and mouthing at her neck. He looked at me, let go of her for a second to see what I was going to do, noticed the big skunk tail next to him and grabbed her again, this time from the back. His face was right up against her butt and his little arms went around her hips and he was trying to throw her over I think. I was 'oh my gawd! You are so going to get sprayed!' but nothing happened. The skunk just kept taking little irritated steps sideways, plaining saying, "do you mind? I'm trying to eat here!" The little guy finally gave up, spronked over to the water tub and bounced on mom, trying to wrestle her for a change. I'm still thinking he was one lucky raccoon.

I promise I'll write something with SG content next. Promise!
