“Alone, Terrified, Immobile, blind and covered in her own blood laid a tiny baby raccoon named Peaches. She was two and a half months old only weighing two pounds. She constantly attacked her own body as she had one seizure after another. Her brain was slowly dying more everyday she laid in this devastating condition. As I followed my vets instructions I provide her with intensive twenty-four hour a day medical treatment along with tender loving care. Peaches health slowly improved one day at a time.

In 2007 Peaches finally took her first literal baby steps. She lost her balance and tumbled over, but she could walk!!! By this time she had also regained some of her eye sight and sense of smell. Although I was over joyed with her progress I knew her brain had been too badly damaged for her to ever survive in the wild. I was loved her and was happy to have her with me for her life time. On the other hand I felt bad for her because she could not return to the wild with her litter mates. Peaches was so happy living in the moment she never felt sorry for herself the way people did. She just made the best of every moment.

I'll never forget April 29, 2007. Peaches and I spent the entire day together. I was marveling at her health improvements. It was about eight at night as she sat up and ate on her own. Ten minutes later she was seizing repeatedly. I was shocked she had not had one seizure for 7 months. By the time we arrived at our vets office she was unresponsive. Since that day Peaches has had bad times, but she also has her good times. For the last couple weeks she has done exceptional. I Know she may die any minute, but I also know she is alive and content with me in this moment.” - Polly and Friends' Alethe

"I have 2 baby raccoons well there are not babies no more but still I call them my babies .They make my day when I go out to feed them they see me and they make that noise like calling me I feel like a mama to them I feel lucky to have them .My husband found them they were already about 8 weeks it took me a while to tame them but now you should see them coming to me when they see me I see their beautiful face and they put a smile in mine ,when ever I feel sad I just go out to see them and that does it ..When I carry them they hold on to me hug me really make me feel better .MY kids are all grown up and out ,now I have them .I really think that God created them to make us better animals give so much love and ask so little in return .Good luck and may God BLess You and your raccoon"

"You're so kind for taking in Peaches, she sounds like she's been through the ringer tonnes of time but thanks to you she pulled through. Bless you and hope you have many more years together."

"I agree with the other writer that God has entrusted you with this baby's care. You are a blessing to others and the love you have for one of God's creations pleases Him. I am taking care of another extremely sick pet too and I know one day he will leave me and return to God. There is joy among the sorrow. May God bless you and all the readers to know this kind of care and love comes from a living and loving God."
