SAINT-SYLVESTRE, Que. - It's been almost a week since Jacques and Rachel Lessard
had one of their beloved family members under their roof, and the future of
Nymous the raccoon is still up in the air. The Lessards found Nymous in May
2013. While walking along the street, they came across a litter of raccoons
whose mother was struck by a car. After taking the babies to a shelter, they
decided to keep one. via
