Grandma and Grandpa's Racoon

Our Grandma and Grandpa Fisher have a couple of recurring visitors at their house every season. There is Perry the Squirrel who has lived under their porch for years. There are the deer that pass through their backyard daily. And for the last couple springs, there is this mother Raccoon. For the past two seasons, she has given birth to her babies in my parent's chimney. When she leaves them, they whimper and cry until my mother starts to cry herself. Anyway, animal control left this little trap for mama so they could relocate her after she had removed her babies. All very sad, but we had to take advantage of the photo op nonetheless.
