Last night my sweetie and I went on a date. we went to smiley’s golf and played mini golf.ist of all let me say that we are ubercompetetive! almost to the point of ridiculousness…almost *grins*!!! then let me say we are GIANT cheaters!!! especially chris!!! but we had so much fun…that is until we went to play the second course. on the first hole i went to hit my ball through the mouth of the skull, and it hit something…then the something moved. i yelped at first, then i thought it was a bunny (it had grayish fur). when i bent down to look at what it was i was shocked to find out it was a raccoon! as this thought dawned on me peple that were chipping balls on the practice green told us it was a raccoon as well. it looked like a baby…so i went to tell the golf shop people and they already knew and were “taking care of it!”

i looked at the guy and asked him if they were gonna kill it. he looked over at me and asked if i really wanted to know…all the while chris was shaking his head no and begging the guy not to tell me the truth. the employee made the comment that they had rabies and sharp claws and teeth and that it would attack someone and rip them to shreds. at that point chris was about to hit the guy for not lying to me. i started to get upset and the guy asked me if i wanted to keep it. of course that answer is pretty obvious! the tears were welling up so i said we needed to leave, i couldnt have watched them trap it and take it away for disposal. chris offered to go and cuss the guy out for upsetting me, but that would not have spared the life of the raccoon so we left.

on the way to the car we noticed a puppy in a car with the windows only down about an inch! it is like 100 degrees at the moment during the day! he was panting so hard. so I called animal control…i also happened to mention the raccoon. i thought they might help! then i got to thinking that if they killed the raccoon before the officer got there it would be useless. so i had to call the pro shop and tell them bout the animal control officer coming…i figured if the guy went all the way out there and they had already killed the little guy the officer might be a bit mad. they tried to tell me that they called and noone answered, but i called the police dispatcher. hee hee so i,hopefully, spared the life of the litttle critter…at least that is how i want to think of it! hopefully the owners of the dog got a stern talkin to as well! maybe i should lock them in a car on a really hot day!

Yesterday also began shark week on the discovery channel…I LOVE SHARK WEEK!!!
