sun began to go down and there was still no sign of Kathy.  Angus 
walked Pat back home and they searched the ranch.  They feared she had 
met the same fate. 

Angus and Clyde stopped by the ranch in the morning to get Pat.  Their
search would cover the area were Kathy was the day before.  He told Pat 
not to stray to far from him.  They followed Kathy's tracks until the 
just suddenly stopped.  They decided to continue in that direction and 
fan out a little bit. 

Pat had the feeling someone was following her, though she didn't see or
hear anything.  Suddenly everything became dark for Pat and she felt 
like she was being dragged across the ground.  Then it stopped and she 
heard a door open.  Pat was thrown into a hole and to her surprise 
there was Dotty, Kathy and Darlene. 

Angus called for Pat and heard no answer.  He and Clyde went back to
were she was looking and found her tracks.  They followed them until 
they ended, but he noticed a strange indent in the dirt continuing from 
there.  They follow it and the indent abruptly stopped.  It was his 
fear that they had now lost Pat. 

Angus decided to wait there for a little while.  A raccoon made its way
out of a hole just a little ways up.  That seemed strange to him 
because it was daytime and raccoons only came out at night.  He waited 
for it to leave and approached the hole. 

He looked down the hole and a raccoon tried to bite him.  Angus jumped
back and five raccoons came out of the hole.  They showed their teeth 
to him and he started moving back as they slowly stalked him.  Out of 
the bushes came Clyde.  He showed them his teeth.  They didn't want any 
part of this big dog.  Clyde ran to the hole so they couldn't go back 
in.  The raccoons didn't want to run because they were afraid Clyde 
might chase them. 

Angus went to the hole and looked down it again.  He saw a small door
there.  Angus slowly opened the door and called out.  Pat heard his 
voice and ran to the opening.  She was so happy to see Angus and told 
the others to come out. 

Pat asked the raccoons why they had done this.  They were quiet for a
minute until Clyde growled at them.  They told her that they were tired 
of the bunnies getting all the attention on Easter.  The thought if 
they took the bunnies away then they could take over.  She told them 
that nobody ever heard of the Easter Raccoon and it would have never 
worked. 

That day the raccoons and the bunnies decided they would work together
making the baskets.  They raccoons seemed quite content with that 
arrangement. 

The years went by and they all worked together preparing for Easter. 
After all that time, there was still the Easter Bunny.
