Recent Friend

Happy to meet this recent friend again under better lights near my home. :D
Candy takes her bow...

Just like her sister Flossy, Candy has chosen the same method of departure. Some of you will remember it: www.flickr.com/photos/squishband/61375174/
I suppose it's fair to say that I was less surprised this time; but I'm much more upset.
In the three and a bit years since Flossy died, Candy came into her own. I started to understand her unusual way of communicating and to really enjoy her quiet ever-present company.
I shall lay her out on the hill as I did her sister. I shall miss her bitterly.
In a way that I couldn't have anticipated, she has been a true friend.
My companion.
20070325-26 - Catcha the raccoon - 116-1686 - Carolyn is getting ready to release our friend

Carolyn read the directions on how to release the raccoon, which said to open the door, and then take a stick and prop it open (because it wont leave while you're right at the door, and it's a wild animal that you don't want direct contact with). Carolyn didn't even have to use the stick (which Clint would have made her hold for self-defense purposes either way), because the raccoon was friendly, and exited
