Re: interesting visitor

Jesse is in Neosho today or she could advise you on how to do this
safely and from a distance. They are taking her step-daughter to spend a
week w/ her grandmother. Maybe she'll be able to check in on this
subject this evening. Doing the licensed wildlife rescue and rehab
thing, she's experienced at this stuff. (They have a pet raccoon named
Nora too)
