June 13, 2012 Toby Keith once said, "I was raised in bars. My grandmother had one, and when I was 12 years old, I'd go stay with her and that's where I got to watch her band play, and I would sit in the kitchen peeking through the door.

What I did find interesting is that home-cooked meals ranked second. Here's the way the poll shakes out.

I called Abilene Animal Control to find out, 'why are we seeing so many wild animals in Abilene?' (CAUTION! Graphic images included)
