I know someone who thought it was cute that all the local raccoons would come and eat out of her dogs and cats dishes that were left outside. It was, they were adorable to watch until her very vaccinated GSD had to be put down because of rabies. You can't push it down their throats and expect a vaccine to protect them. She lost all her outside cats also, we never knew where they went but it's a pretty sure bet that they were rabid also. Hard lesson to learn, he was one of those "special" dogs. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
