Raccoon lover showers with pet raccoon

Cottagers make no secret of their love for raccoons, but we usually know enough to keep a screen door between us and the wildlife.

That said, plenty of Canadians keep domesticated raccoons as pets, though we like to think that “pet” doesn’t translate to “shower companion” in most homes. Maybe someone should pass that along to this raccoon lover, who clearly doesn’t mind bathing with his furry little buddy.

Weirdly enough, the raccoon’s name is Rebekah, which is Hebrew for “connection” or “to join.” But he might want to consider un-joining from his pet raccoon the next time he shampoos his beard.
