10 days!! Quarantined? That is going to cost a fortune (that I don't have). Uugh. Let alone how it will affect him.

I was out in the backyard just now (still looking for my cat) and it is indeed a raccoon. It was up in the oak tree. I think it has been getting in the trash lately (at least my neighbor said so).

Damn damn damn.... it is 11:00 (and I should have been to sleep at 9:30)... still no cat. I've re-washed the wound with warm water and soap, and then trimmed the hair from the bite area. I put some neosporin and a small round bandage, and amazingly he is sleeping now and not licking at it (we did have a big day today and he is all tuckered out from playing with 3 other dogs up at my moms place).

Tomorrow, I will take the bandage off and let the wound breath and be open tomorrow when I go to work, I think this kind of wound is better off if it drains, I just wanted to get some neosporin in it to try and kill off bacterias since it is going to be hours before I can do anything about this.

I don't know how I'm going to get to sleep, I have to leave my front door ajar so the cat can get back in. That racoon is still out there, and now I've got $$ worries.

I'm so worried, but somehow I need to chill out somehow so I can get up at 6. (sigh)
