At 11:00pm on a Sunday night, Johnna and I were making a quick trip to Jack In the Box, when we saw two baby raccoons crossing the street near our house.   They were very small about six to 8 inches long and walked very, very slow even with our car approaching.  We stopped and I got out of the car to see if I could get them off the road.  One turned and hissed at me while backing up slowly and the other looked back at me as he/she was walking.

Johnna and I started to feel worried for them, as no mother could be seen, so we went back and got a net and small cage to capture them.  With in 5 minutes we came back and found them again off the street and brought them back to our house.

That night, they slept in a dog cage in our garage.  We also put some dog food and a bowl of water, which can't be thumped over, into the cage with them.  We dropped off the raccoons at the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, TWRC, where they will be raised in an environment conducive to a later date release back into the wild.
