I'm curious what inspired you to write about Raccoons, and why you gotta throw in the "hillbilly" stereotype so apologetically . Cute story!
@tommyinthesun, I'll field that question. LOL Glory is a real raccoon who is, piece by piece, destroying my house because she wants to live inside it. She and I do not see eye to eye on that. However, there are no options in Southwest Virginia for RVS species--a call to VDGIF will result in her immediate euthanasia. This is fact, not me being paranoid. Bex-dk has witnessed the problems we have in our area through my personal struggles as an Appalachian resident. Unfortunately, many people (including political leaders) in my area perpetuate the hillbilly stereotype and oppress their communities in some unfathomable ways. Some very real and unfortunate examples of this are detailed here: http://www.steemshelves.com/rhonda-kay/
I am 1/4 West Virginia hillbilly myself and proud of it. Unfortunately bullies exist in many communities and in Appalachia some match the stereotypes. Also remember Glory is cleanliness obsessed, close to OCD in the piece, as well as snobbish, and the coon descriptions are filtered through her eyes. ;-)

You're amazing, Bex. :-) Thank you.

I'm thinking Glory needs a webseries or tv show like "littlest hobo."

I love this story. How much is truth and how much is fiction? Glory is a legend at this point.
Truth, that my home has been invaded by woodland creatures who are far smarter and more tame than I'm comfortable with, and that my windowscreens are being systematically destroyed, and that I have discovered animals NOT part of the rescue in my office doing odd things to my computer keyboard. LOL Fiction, that any of it was an organized effort. ... Or is it? Yikes!
😂
Love it! (where did Muxxy find an emoticon?)

Great story! I love Glory's "Queenly" attitude. There is no doubt that she is ruler of all her surroundings. :)
And what a cutie-pie, rolls and all!
Awesome story. Glory is full of character.

Glory is kicking ass and taking names!
What a great story, really enjoyed it.
Thank you for taking the time from your truth vs myth work and your upcoming dystopian fiction to read it. ;-)
