1. We're adorable. - that's cute to the tenth power.
2. We're affectionate - you've never been kissed until you've been
kissed by a raccoon.
3. We're intelligent - We'll respond to verbal commands
(if it suits our purpose).
4. We're crafty - we'll keep your intellect razor sharp trying to
outwit us.
5. We're huggable - it's like having an animated teddy bear.
6. We're amusing - we'll do anything to get attention.
7. We're maintenance free - relatively speaking.
8. We're grateful - I've never known a raccoon that yearned to be
free or even wanted to go outside the house.
9. We're good conversationalists - you talk to us and we'll talk to
you; we'll even debate issues.
10. We're good companions - the person who said that a dog is man's
best friend never met a raccoon.
