When I was growing up we had a neighbor with a pet raccoon. Actually the neighbor was my cub scouts den mother. The raccoon's tail was only 2 inches long and it's name was stubby. It just kinda roamed the neighborhood but mostly followed the little girl my age around like a puppy dog.

One day Stubby was in a neighbors blow up wading pool. He would get in the pool and push down own the side to make the water start running out. Then he would jump out of the pool and try to wash his front paws where the water had been running when he pushed down on the side of the pool. Did that several times before giving up. We all thought it was hilarious.
