Bonnie was a diminutive sized raccoon female who visited with us for less than a week in the summer of 2014. She came to us injured with a broken jaw. Despite the injury she appeared physically healthy and could still eat, albeit rather slowly. Unfortunately we never had a chance to trap her so that she could be medically evaluated and, if possible treated for release. Raccoons live a hard and sometimes very short lifetime. It broke our hearts deeply that we couldn't help Bonnie. Although she was tiny in size, she was larger than life. There isn't a day we still don't miss her despite that her time visiting us was brief. She had that much of an impact in our hearts. NOTE: Our rescue raccoons resides in a region where there hasn't been a case of raccoon rabies for over three decades which is tracked by the local public health department. We are fortunate to be able to observe and professional work with a variety of wildlife species since we reside next to a protected wildlife preserve. Our rescue raccoons lounge and play on our terrace as well as use it as a thoroughfare. No children nor pets are ever harmed, especially the wild animals captured in these videos. Please note that none of the raccoons are our pets thus please follow your local wildlife guidelines for the safety of humans and animal wildlife alike. © Weekly Whiskers All Rights Reserved 14-IPH5S
