MEET the Portsmouth family who live in a three bedroom terraced house with 20 RACCOONS. From family nights in front of the telly to driving over to the local park the raccoons feel left out unless they are allowed to tag along. And parents Michelle and Sean Rhodes are so in love the bundles of fun that they think of them like their own children and spend £3,000 a year on their upkeep. However the raccoon-loving family forego holidays because no-one else can be trusted with the madcap-mammals. Mum, Michelle, 39, raises her raccoon family full-time while dad, Sean, 36, brings home the bacon as a business consultant while 14 year-old children, Jacob and Rosemarie both attend school. But behind the door of their home the Rhodes family have dedicated the last four years of their lives to raising a huge "gaze" of raccoons - as a group of these comedic creatures is known- that all have the freedom of the home. s01314
