This raccoon was given to us as a gift. We have named him Jack. He smells really great, but his temper is perhaps his most endearing quality. He complains about being hungry all the time, and we have to remind him that raccoons eat out of the trash can. Despite his ornery disposition, Jack is a sweetheart, and has become my best friend. As our bond grew, Jack started to confide in me his experiences in the Vietnam war. Seeing as he”s only two years old, i have to remind him that the flashbacks are purely part of his overly active imagination. He complained quite loudly the first time i put him into the microwave, but subsequent encounters with said appliance have been more enjoyable for Jack. When he finally does fall asleep, Jack is the most contented raccoon on the planet. His scent of rosemary and lavender keep me calm, and he warms my heart (especially straight from the mircowave). Everyone should have a Jack.
