And they seem to love coffee grounds, something that would kill a dog or coyote.

Good call Colt!

Of course, one way to stop the critters from tipping over the garbage cans is to move the little guys into your house! For example, here is Queenie, a pet javelina, who lived with friends of mine in Nogales (several years ago).

The animal was found in the desert, with the umbilical cord still attached. She was brought to the family's home and made into a pet.

According to the lady of the house, Queenie was smarter than a dog, was easily house trained and was a lot of fun around the kids (she'd pull the young man's socks off his feet and he'd have to chase her around the house in order to get them back).

Some really weird things she liked; she would chew gum and watch TV with the family. When the gum lost its flavor, she'd indicate as much and expect to get a fresh stick of gum.

She lived to drink 7-Up, especially when it was hot out and she went for a drive to go shopping with the family.

She was very territorial. The family had to be very careful with guests around Queenie.

Anyway, below are some photos of Queenie on the bed with the young man of the house.
