I do not have pets. I foster dogs. I do software solutions for technology companies. I love raccoons but I have only seen wild ones. I have to raccoon proof my garbage. I went to a pet store yesterday. I saw a bearded dragon for the first time. I hear a raccoon fighting with a cat in my neighborhood.
I have a bearded dragon as pets who eats crickets and worms. I am a zoo keeper. I have a brother who owns a grocery store. I have a raccoon who eats dog kibble, fish and eggs among other things. My raccoon is named Bandicoot.  He is 3 years old, and my 7 month old bearded dragon is named Bob. I have had Bob for 1 month. I work at a raccoon cafe with bandicoot. My raccoon was a rescue. I have had my raccoon over a month. I am used to my raccoon's smell. I think raccoons make a good pet. We cannot sell raccoons.
One of my foster dogs is going to her forever home tomorrow, I'm excited for her but will be sad to see her go at the same time! I understand, it must be tough to give away a dog you have fostered for such a long time. Surely you still have other dogs to foster that have yet to be adopted? They always come and go. It's sad, but I am a little used to it. But you're right, I'm sure by next week another cutie will be joining me. You should bring bandicoot over! I'd be happy to do so, he would love the extra company and attention. Would you ever consider fostering other types of animals other than dogs, such as cats? I'm allergic to cats. That's why I don't foster them. Has he ever met a dog before? He has, he mostly is friendly around them, although I can't say many dogs are friendly around bandicoot. I guess dogs in general aren't really used to seeing racoons at times. Probably not. Or maybe they see them, and worry they are going to steal their food next! That is true of other racoons, but Bandicoot seems to play fair. Speaking of which, have you been able to handle your raccoon problem? Not yet. I need to buy some aluminum sheeting I think. To cover the holes up from the inside. Those raccoons are too smart True, racoons are much more craftier than you think. Has any other types of animals tried to enter your garbage, or is it mostly racoons? I would be scared if a bigger animal like a bear was attracted to my garbage. Luckily we don't have bears around. The other animals don't seem interested in the garage though. Good to hear, then aluminum sheeting should be able to handle just the raccoons then. My garbage has a lock, helps keep it shut especially when it gets very windy outside.
