Sometimes in his job Daddy gets up close and personal with the Florida wildlife. He's found fire ants living up a palm tree and a snake in another palm. Thankfully he came out of those encounters unscathed. Yet another time he was attacked by an angry squirrel. Hey, you would be mad too if a big man with a chain saw started sawing at your roof! What's a poor squirrel to do?

Well, last week daddy was climbing a tree to top it when he came face to face with a furry raccoon! And she wasn't alone, she had four little babies tucked away in the hollow tree! While daddy was working at the top of the tree she took a dive out and ran away. Maybe she was trying to create a distraction to protect her babies.

There's daddy up in the tree... some where.

Daddy and Dave (the guy he was working with) didn't want to leave those poor little babies alone so they called someone to come get them. She said to leave them in a box at the bottom of the tree and the mommy raccoon would come back later that night to get them. And she did!

The babies didn't even have their eyes open yet!
