Rambling With Lucy
Adam Flowers' Pet Racoons
Bring Out The'Coon Stories
' If you are' walking down Main Street' in Bayfield any
•evening, you tnay see Adam Flowers, proprietor qf The Wool- ?
Ien Shpp, out walking his pet ’coons.
, “Pete" and “Repeat” are two of'a^litter of five Which
Mr. Flowers rescued from a local chimney which was’ being
repaired. Mr.-, and Mrs, Flowers raised the liittiq kits on the
bottle and had to get-.up in the night to warm the milk jand
feed t'h$?n regularly. ■*
A commexcial traveller took two of them bapk* to Tor-,
onto for pets, and. Wally Pierson has the other at their farrq
an Highway 21 -r-^ between Bayfield and Goderich.
“Pete” and ‘‘Repeat”, at three'.months, arq ‘such , frisky
merry little pets. They .are fed bowls of bread and'milk arid
carrots. ' ...
.. Mr. Flowers keeps them in a cage, and then m the even
ing he puts on their harness and takes them fop a wialk. They
lead well. That is how “Mr.” saw them and reported to Lucy
that they'd taken .a fancy to him, and tried to! climb, up his
legs. Mrs. Flowers’ says that the pair look forward to this
evening stroll. And they are gentle and as playful las domestic ,
' kittens. They are also friend's of the Flpwea^’ two dachsundS,
“Saucey" and “Max" with whom they delight to romp.
Asked what he would do with them eventually, Mi's,
Flowers said that when winter came her husband planned
to take them to the stable ait “The Ponderosa.” as he calls
the property where he maintains 13 horses and ponies, ■
It seems that there is a Banty rooster down there which *
is cock of tlte walk. Mr. Flowers was buying oats for his
horses one day last year arid a pair of ‘bantams was throiwin l
lin for good measure. The hen disappeared but the cock holds
sway all by. himself. . t
Carl -reioails trying to capture a ’boon but it was top
, quick for him and his cousin, Percy Diehl, Early one morning
When the two young men' were back at the stiver .fishing,
they spied a half-grown racoon up a maple tree probably
bent on the same missibn! •
Percy climbed the maple tree. The ’coon 'got out on a ■
branch as far as sit could; Percy followed it out on the branch
below,«reached up and tied a piece of binder twine around
one hind leg. As he descended from branch to branch, he ,
pulled the ’cobon down. Suddenly, the animal turned, bit the
twine in two and fell to the ground. Car! threw himself on
the spot where it would land, hoping to capture it with his
jacket; but when hq 'landed, ‘tine 'coon was not there, He ex
plained that a racoon rolls itself into a ball to fall and landls
on its, feet, running. Thus idid this anlihial, wise in the way of
self-preservation, elude its would-be captors, .
In Lucy's childhood, she recalls various-boys and men
having pet ’coons, but they came from their natural habitat— ■
a hollow tree in the woods. . , • t •'
Now-a-days at seems that there aren't enough hollow
trees to go around, so the racoons come into the village and
hole up in chimneys for the winter. And mother ’coon brings;
forth her young in a warm nest in the chimney.
Molcolm Toms wondered why they couldn't light their
fire place last winter. Every time they .tried1, it smoked, so
they concluded it was filled up ;— it was with 'coons!
This spring Mr. and Mrs. Toms were sitting under the
arbour in the garden one day when they saw mother 'coon
come down the PheStnut tree — evidently out to forage for
food. But a hound walked along- the street and she climbed'
up the tree and onto the roof in great haste Looking up
they saw' three little heads peering over the top of the chim
ney.-Two of them fell out on the roof. Later on when the
Toms were in the house, they heard a thud. Sure enough,
one of the babies -had fallen off the roof! .Mother' ’cocxn
.came down the chestnut tree, grabbed her infant in her teeth
by .the scruff of the neck and carried it back up again.
Evidently Mama thought-her little family was too dose-
to the pitfalls of present day civilization to be at large on
Main Street. So that night she moved her bairns from the
chimney on Main Street to parts unknown, to be brought
up in true racoon tradition.
Lucy hopes the old girl hasn’t brought them down this
way with an eye to feasting on “Mr.’s” com at “The Hut"
when it is ready to eat!
