A raccoon and too much moonshine!

This is a story about a nurse and a raccoon. 

Misty Combs is a nurse who lives in Kentucky.  She was heading to work one day last week when she and her co-workers noticed what looked to be a panicked raccoon in the parking lot.  The lot is right next to a distillery.  Turns out, the distillery put some fermented peaches in their dumpster.  There were baby raccoons in there.  Misty grabbed a shovel and a scoop, and was started removing the raccoons…who weren’t putting up a fight.  At the bottom of the dumpster was water, and peaches…that were soaked in moonshine.  The raccoons were DRUNK.  Believe it or not, Misty started doing CPR on one of the baby raccoons.  All worked out fine. The babies and mother are ok……all thanks to Misty the Nurse.
