Chaoui goes to Grand Isle - Part 1

Would anyone in their right mind take a toddler coon on vacation? I don’t know if we have right minds, but we did. Chaoui accompanied us to Grand Isle, Louisiana. We bought her a pet taxi to travel in and a doggie cage to stay in once we arrived.

With no time to waste, Chaoui and her boy set about having island fun right away . . .

fishing with a cast net . . . this punk has skill

and what will it produce?

A nice coon treat?

If these photos of a boy and his pet coon don’t touch your heart, well, your heart is just hard and cold. These photos reach way down inside me and make me want to write a story on the levels of The Yearling. Remember it?

“Mommy, do we eat these slimy things?”
