no the rabbit did hide a few times under the chairs but once we lifted them, off it went.

Being a vet, I have encounters with many unusual animals: blue heron, baby tree sloth just to name a few, but I have to say the funniest story I heard was the one I missed b/c it was my day off.
A family was having a party (I think it was a Friday night) and there family Kinkajou drank a large amount of liquor (unbeknownst to them). They found him drunk as a skunk and brought him into the EC where I work. Needless to say he needed some sobering up, they drew some blood and sent it to the local human EC hospital-his blood alcohol level was 0.38.
After some IV fluids he quickly recovered-was ok by morning though I bet he had a bad hangover.

I see many drunk and stoned animals-it is quite entertaining

Okay I'm like so not trying to start stuff, but being the libra I am.....I'm all about justice and peace with fairness and that was just super unfriendly.

But ...Lil-G

"what a bad encounter story"

That was just downright mean!



If I thought a chain was a snake, I'd be freaked out.


I mean really, and this is just my opinion, but I think you should apologize to curiouss.

In defense of Lil_G's post . . . this is, in fact, your opinion. His opinion was that the story sucked. I don't personally think either of you are correct; that's just my opinion - so let's all laugh, crack another, and not worry about it.

Have fun kids. It's too boring if we don't.

I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania where deer season is practically a religious experience. One morning when I was about 6 years old, I woke up and glanced out the window. Imagine my horror and dismay when I saw Bambi himself hanging from the top of my swingset.

My uncles had gone hunting the day before and brought back the deer one of them had shot and apparently you have to hang it so the blood drains or some such thing? So the dorks chose my swingset!

So that is my wildlife encounter and yes I am still in therapy for that one

The Mission:





So in case any of you thought i was talking nonsense about our rodent overpopulation....here's the proof. This was taken this morning after the raccoons (for the 5th time in a row) chewed up our trash and opened the buffet for his buddies - one is pictured above nibbling on some cabbage.
Isn't he adorable, enjoy it while you can - will be your last.

Awww, he is ADORABLE!

But this is a last warning: be NICE to the squirrels! Hell hath no fury like an Alpha Gamma Delta protecting her own.

You got to get that little bastard.

My Family used to have two cats, one of which had coloring similar to a racoon, but we had never really thought about it before. She also had long hair, so she looked bigger than she actually was.
One night, my brother looks out the window and says "hey, there's Whiskers (yes, that was her name.. the other one we called Sushi), I'm gonna go get her." So he walks onto the porch, bends down and reaches out to grab her, and suddenly stands up and backs away. I go out and ask him "what's wrong?" and look as Whiskers.. but it wasn't whiskers.. it was a racoon eating their cat food.. and it seemed to have no problem with my brother attepmting to pick it up, because it just kept on eating the food!

Silly I know, but that;s my encounter.

This has happened to me on several occasions. My dad and brothers are serious hunters so they're always bringing home deer, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, if it's wildlife...it's been to my house. I just try to not watch while they're hanging it up and everything. I actually owned a squirrel a while back. We found the squirrel in a friend's shed. She had 3 little babies with her. She was injured so I brought her home. My dad built this huge cage for her to play in. Unfortunately my squirrels met their untimely demise when the neighbor's cat found out how to get into the cage. ...it was not a good day for Allison. LOL. Being from the country...I've also had some pretty interesting run ins with domestic farm animals too!!! But I'll save those stories for another thread.

I agree with KABM, but I see a freezer in his future. Like was said earlier, you could then use it as a party favor, FREAK guests out by asking them to get some ice or something.

In south texas bugs are a part of life. I was walking out on my patio to make a phone call and I feel what I thought was a moth drop down on me, run(?) down my face, into my shirt. So I untuck my shirt and shake it loose, see it hit the ground and it was a huge COCKROACH!



I am not really whacked out by them, but I knew I'd have half of you all FREAKING out by just telling the story.
