Racoons, urban wolverines! I was merely trying to illustrate how "wildlife starved" we are here in Toronto. The closest I get to nature is freeing the racoon from the garbage. The first time I did it the club manager later asked me about it and said that he usually "lets out the family". I said, "what family, there was only one". "Oh" he says, "last night was garbage pickup, they must have been taken away". The little guy was alone from then on.
Now squirrels, don't even get me started. Rats with bushy tails, I hate the things. I did forget the annual duck family at the club. The manager feeds them and they get so friendly they've been known to come right inside if we keep the door open!
