[QUOTE="rifke, post: 1987298753, member: 26623"] oh yeah, i know what you're talking about. i've seen them. i've never seen them with a raccoon tail attached. that must have been some kind of special shaker. haha dont worry, i would've liked it too as a kid, not even thinking about the poor raccoon, OR liking it precisely because i like raccoons. the logic of children. that's cool you had a canadian pen pal! did she live in a hollowed out tree? well, okay, when i said i would've shared my pretzels with the raccoon, what i meant was i would've chucked him a couple from a safe distance. i wouldnt have fed them to him out of my hand or anything. i'm not afraid of them, and im afraid of everything (ive been known to let some very bossy squirrels chase me out of benches) so that tells you how unscary they are when you see them in person, but i am wary of getting too close to them. i dont think they're vicious by nature, but they can be a bit of a wild card if you get too close to them, if they feel threatened or if they have rabies (obviously). ive never known anyone to get attacked by one though (and they're everywhere here. my favourite thing is to see a family of them), and ive certainly never known of any to run at a person who wasnt bothering them and attack them, i think that would be unheard of. the way this particular one was sitting and watching me as if he wanted to ask me something, i just knew he was nice. i didnt know they didnt have them in england! i guess thats whey there are no pinafore wearing raccoons in beatrix potter. :( [/QUOTE]
