The Tragic Story of “Feisty”

Waverleigh Alexander
Jan 21st,2013

In the summer of 2011 the poor death of a baby raccoon named Feisty taught me a life lesson about suffering and letting go.

It was a hot summer afternoon on August 2nd, 2011 and my cousin Brileigh and I were on our daily walk at the McCrank farm when we came across our neighbor’s dog Buck chewing on what seemed to be a a small animal. Brileigh who is an animal lover started to cry, so I ran up to Buck and hit him hard on the back. Being the wimpy dog he is, Buck dropped an injured baby raccoon the size of a kitten out of his mouth and ran away. The baby raccoon was badly bleeding and in pain, Brileigh and I knew we had to act fast.

We trusted that the baby raccoon would be safe there and taken care of At the sanctuary so we said our goodbyes to the baby raccoon who was in deep pain and left.

After we left in the car ride back home we decided to name our little friend (the baby raccoon) “Feisty” because of the way he would hiss at us like a cat and seem to be angry or Fiesty.

A week had gone by and Brileigh and I were constantly thinking about Feisty and hoped that he was alright. So my aunt Leigh Anne drove us down to the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary again to

Romeo And Juliet Flaws

Romeo and Juliet is a well-known play written by William Shakespeare that reveals “genuine love”.
