The next morning, the raccoon was caught! Apparently if he drank the Pepsi, there were no visible ill effects.
He waddles free.

Masked Bandit
Dad has been busy setting traps to catch moles, groundhogs and raccoons. While he was gone last weekend, he discovered that another raccoon had found the bird feeder in the backyard. He and Tyler carefully set a trap with marshmallows, but the raccoon somehow got the marshmallows without getting caught. So, Thursday evening, they set another trap together with marshmallows slathered in peanut butter for the bait... yummy! Dad also heard that raccoons can't burp, so he set out some Pepsi to drink as a backup plan.
He waddles free.

Not to incriminate myself, but raccoons caught in my "live" trap don't normally enjoy this type of happy ending waddling down the road.

:) Dad said that normally raccoons don't get to waddle free either - but since Tyler was part of the process, he didn't want to worry Tyler. (Though I don't think Tyler would have been surprised if he had. Tyler told me the night they were setting the trap that they were going to kill the raccoon - he thought they were going to poison the marshmallows).
