Pet Raccoon

A raccoon was the next pet I got after my cherished shark Bruno passed away. My mother gave me the raccoon for my birthday. I looked at the cute little baby raccoon and immediately thought of a name for him; Mr. Tiggles.

Mr. Tiggles and I had so much fun together when he was still a young raccoon. But when he got older he became more secluded from me. He would isolate himself in the bathroom, and when I came in to use the porcelain throne, Mr. Tiggles would hiss wildly at me. Then at night when I would lie down to get a good night's rest, he would jump onto my bed and start thrashing like he had rabies. He basically kicked me off the bed and claimed it for himself.

Finally I got fed up with Mr. Tiggles. I went to Wal-Mart and bought myself as Blowgun with some Tranquilizer darts. As I crept back into my house, I saw Mr. Tiggles ripping open a cereal box in my kitchen. I fired a dart from my blowgun, but missed the raccoon by a few inches. He looked up at me and hissed, but it was too late for him. A second dart stuck out of his neck, for I was just to quick for Mr. Tiggles. The raccoon then found a new home at my mother-in-law's house, where he continues to wreck havoc.

Now what is the moral of this story? Pet sharks are way cooler than raccoons.

Are snipes among us?

Snipes. We have all heard of them, whether it was the invisible oines or the big tall ones, or however your parents described it to you as a young, unsuspecting child. I remember when i was little, I was at a cabin with my family, and my mom gave us all plastic bags and told us to run around until we felt something move in our bags (meaning the snipes were invisible and we could catch them in plastic bags).

Well of course there were no invisible snipes running around, but my mom threw a rock in my bag while I was running around so I started freaking out because it thought I got one. I was so excited until I opened the bag and saw the rock, then I was so so sad. Then, 3 years later, i was flipping through the National Geographic and i saw this strange bird.

In the caption, it said it was a snipe! Can you believe it!! They are real!!!
