... my great grandpa kept a raccoon as a pet; in 1948 we went to visit him in
Canada, where he had returned to live in his old age .... that's me and

my uncle Wally

feeding the critter from a baby bottle; the coon also sat at the table and
ate sugar cubes which it washed in water prior to eating... the sugar disappeared and
maybe that's why it was so cantakerous ...
