So was I (sarcasm is hard to spot on the net ) - you seen the size of the teeth on a rottweiler!
I've been round people's houses where a Staffy jumps on you as soon as you get in, if you try sitting down and it will jump on you some more!
I approve a license being needed, but not a DWA license. Is there a 'protecting the country's fauna' license-thing:?: _________________

Are they all so possessive about food?
Stevie turns into some kind of mentalist if he wants something you don't wanna give him...  |

I'm not sure. He wouldn't let me take a bucket out of his enclosure on Saturday (I was filling his water dish and he practically jumped in the bucket ). They're just very curious, and quite primate like with their almost-opposable thumbs and pretty intelligent too. _________________

Curious is an understatement! lol
We had to rescue Tony with a grape last week...
Funny how they don't really smell either. I really like ferrets but the pong does keep me off having any at home. For some reason I expected raccoons to whiff a bit too  |

What are raccoons though?
Not mustelids like ferrets are they?
He's quite un-smelly and toilet trained (fast metabolism though, he produces a lot

no raccoons are a separate genus from other carnivores, procyonidae (procyon meaning raccoon). They are in the same family as the kinkajou, coati, olingos and (according to most naturalist, some say other wise) the red panda.
