I love black-eyed susan's ya can't kill 'em no matter what. They would push up between the cracks in my sidewalk in the searing August heat of Louisiana. Racoon's I love from a distance, we have them around the hospital I work at in Aurora Colorado.
My Dad brought home a couple babies and had them in a cage in our basement when I was around 12 or 13 yrs. old. Dad was a hunter and I don't remember why he felt the need to care for them for several weeks. The funny part of this story, is that they got loose one day and totally ransacked our kitchen. End of story, don't remember where Dad took them after that. They were cute though!
