The racoon!! Rated R(gross)

I don't have any pictures but i almost wish we had..but you are lucky to be spaired the gruesome details. I'll start at the beginning. We had this racoon (about 25 lbs.)that got in the trash every night for the past year or so....trash everywhere in the morning including dirty diapers...even when we double bagged them he still got them opened! yuck! We finally got so sick of it Jason decided to take care of him. I was sad but so annoyed i finally decided it had to be done. About two weeks ago he saw it in the trash and got his gun and shot him, one shot immediate kill, no mess! I was sad but it was fast no big deal! Problem solved...haha....no no no..the next night another racoon about 1/3 bigger the size of a dog but fatter started getting in the trash...we thought this is never going to end.
So over the weekend Jason said he was going to get this one. About 9:30 at night i hear him tip over the cans and jason gets up to get him. I'll try and explain the situation. We have a back porchright off the kitchen...trash cans about 4 feet from our sliding doors. We have a mess outside all around them because the deck is tore off. So three sides are blocked and the forth is my car. The first racoon when shot fell backwards 0ff the porch into the grass..clean and easy! NOPE not this one..he fell forward and decided to make a murder scene out of our back porch. He came right up to the house-sliding doors and slid down the side of them..got stuck trying to go under the kids bikes..flopping..over all the kids toys and then into the driveway(rocks)and finally under my car into the grass where we assumed he died since he was shot in the head and didnt have much of it left!
I wanted to take a picture but Jason was flipping out because we live in the city(No shooting guns) and our backyard was like a murder scene. It was horribe!! Luckily my husband cleaned it up mainly with a water hose..but we had to throw most of the kids toys away because i was scared of rabies, even after them being cleaned...yuck!! Poor jason was out there for almost 45 minutes cleaning up scraps of racoon and blood...but the damdest thing is that the racoon disappeared...he is gone!!! Our backyard is mainly fenced and he was obviously injured with a large head wound and he is gone!! we searched forever for him in the front and back yard! I feel so bad that someone else will have to find him. poor racoon. We never would have done it if we thought he would suffer or that he would destroy our porch!
I am waiting for another to come raid the trash as punishment for the last one's misery!! I now know what it must be like for the crazies out there that murder someone...it is truly impossible to clean it all up! They are stupid for even trying. We still have stuff in the rocks that we can't get to go away! i would just turn myself in and not even try! It is a gruesome thing..yuck, yuck, yuck!!
