For those of you who were unaware, our family has been fostering a baby racoon for the past two months. She has been getting progressively more and more difficult to control and aggressive. Bandit has been destroying my flowers, getting into everything in the garage, sneaking into the house and in general, being a royal pain for the family to deal with. Don't get me wrong, she's cute and all that, but cute doesn't compare with interrupting daily life. Bandit pushed things too far this Wednesday. Jenny was here hanging out with her kids and Bandit played with Patrick too roughly. She also got into Jenny's van and into all the snacks making a big mess. She even tried getting into our jeep that night. Tony and I decided it was time to take Bandit back to the wild. Yesterday Tony took her on a quad ride to the thousand acres of forest land back behind our development. Tony knew of a beaver pond back there away from other roads or houses to take her. She was fine when he released her, and Tony saw lots of other racoon prints around the pond so we are hoping she will make lots of friends there. The boys are bummed, but understand. And today, for the first time since getting her, we were able to have the screen door open and eat on our patio.
