Well, I wonder, George, why raccoons have not been domesticated yet. Um, I mean, they gotta be one of the cutest things out there. Um, you know, roaming around, you know, trash pandas. Um, they've got to be one of the cutest wild animals that infest cities. And let me tell you right now, if I ever, ever encountered a baby raccoon, it would be my pet so fast it would make your head spin. Uh, it really would. And I'd call it Bandit. I've already got that figured out. Its name would be Bandit because of the mask on its eyes, you know. And, uh, it would be, it kinda wouldn't be good because raccoons, when they're not out in the wild, and you're, you got them as a pet, cause I've seen videos where people have them as pets, and they're always overweight. And, you know, because they're not out getting the exercise that they normally do, running around the neighborhood, climbing in and out of dumpsters. So raccoons tend to get overweight really quick. And that's a sad situation, cause you see these guys and they can barely clean themselves anymore because, you know, they're so fat. And I think that's sad, but, I mean, if you had one, you'd have to find a way to keep it exercised, or something, you know, maybe like a cat wheel. I've always wanted one of those. They're incredibly expensive. But, a cat wheel. I wonder if my cats would use it. You know, get in there and go for a run or even like, you know, a long walk. I've seen people with them, some cats love them, and they go just like hamsters, and they're running and running and running. But then other cats couldn't be bothered with it. And it is an expensive toy, just to try out, right? For a cat. But yeah, I mean, raccoons, they're just, I don't know, they get their little paws, and they hold stuff in their hands while they're eating it. I mean, they're adorable. They really are. I understand why people wouldn't want, you know, wild raccoons around your house, tearing up your trash cans and all that, but I mean, if you had one and it was inside, and you raised it from a little baby, and, you know, you got it spayed or neutered or whatever, if you found a veterinarian that would actually do that. Because I'm not sure if they're legal to have as pets in the United States or not. I know certain states do allow desexed or desensitized skunks as pets. But I wonder about raccoons. Are they allowed to be kept as pets? Bill, we're going to go back to you, man. What animals do you have in and around your house? Like I said before, we know about your puppies. But what's lurking around outside in the Phoenix area? V01 to you, Casey. Over to you, Bill.
