Raccoons in Our Bathroom

By Kathryn C. Bode

Why are raccoons in the bathroom, how did they get there, and what happened to them? This book will answer those questions and tell you about Kathy Bode (and her husband, Gordon) during their first summer raising orphan raccoons.You will discover that raccoons are clever, cute, and entertaining, but do not make good pets, no matter how endearing! It takes you from a lonely, one-pound kit orphan to the release back to the wild of two teenaged, fifteen-plus-pound raccoons in the fall.What adventures were experienced during that long, first summer will hopefully make you smile while gaining some insight into the world of this charming animal! As the Bodes found out, "No cage is big enough for a raccoon," and neither is a bathroom!If having raccoons in your bathroom is not on your "bucket list," perhaps you would like to help in other ways. Donating your time, money, usable items (like blankets) or having property where rehabbed animals can be released are some of the things that help us volunteers. Great release sites need: no busy roads, or irate farmers, lots of trees, water and food sources, and people willing to back up feed in cold weather. But please, don't volunteer the use of your bathroom!
