Be afraid....be very afraid!

Once the rain stopped and things dried out, Boss and the Dukes returned. Apparently Boss is hatching an evil plan of world domination.

The weekend of RAIN.....

Didn't detour the regulars from their snacks. Just made them "pre-soaked"...a bonus!

Ho Ho Ho

"Oh, I hope it's grapes...please be grapes.... or maybe marshmallows, oh how I love those marshmallows....I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!"

I will just help myself .... thanks

Last night I had a visit from my favorite Coonies, Giggles and Shadow and their white trash mama. She is a cracker crackhead and will steal food right from her kids hands and run off. Kind of like if Britney Spears was a raccoon.

Anyway, Shadow let me pet him on the head a couple times and I went outside and hung out with them for a bit. Another raccoon came and they made fighting noises. I tried to shoo the other coon away, but he wasn't scared of me at all, just looked at me like "what? do you have me confused with someone else?" Turns out it was one of the sixers and he wasn't taking me seriously at all. My coonie cred is trashed. Or solid, depending how you look at it.

The Wild Fires

The posts have been lacking the last couple months I know. October 21st brought some crazy wildfires to Orange County and sent all my raccoons running for cover (at least that's I'm guessing.) They stayed away for several weeks and I was quite worried about them. They are back in force now and a new family with 3 young kits have been hanging out as well! If anyone is out there reading, I will post some more pics soon.



A few days after the fire, Giggles and Shadow came back. They both seemed to have effects from the what they had to do to flee the fire. Poor Giggles had this horrible looking wound on his paw. Thankfully after a few weeks, it healed without infection.

Eating out of my hand!

Caught with her mouth full

Table Manners II

Do raccoons have table manners? I wanted to find out, so I put a table out with a buffet in the middle. Oh my god, I'm a genius! They are so funny and cute! They scoot around the table, trying to reach the food in the middle - wave their feet trying to get up. This guy seems pretty happy with the buffet, doesn't he?

Give me Five!

Table Manners

Ralphie

Ralphie is one of the sixers, and is the one that seems to have made the break from mom first. He has visited several times on his own. A sweet boy, but a little snappy with the food, so I am pretty careful with him.

"Hey Grape Lady....We're Here!"

Just Wants to Hold my Hand!

Spiritual Awakening

A much overdue report from your favorite raccoon blogger! (that would be me, how many other racoon bloggers do you know?!) My grandmother had a fall and other serious health issues - like a heart attack, so I rushed to Iowa to see her. Thankfully she is ok and doing much better. Can I get an Amen?!



Thanks Sixers!

Now, you get a grape for your thoughtfullness.

The Backyard Bag Feeder Project

Zach Glenwright's Backyard Bag Feeder Project came to the OC. Giggles and the gang took some interest in it and tore it up a bit! Hoping to get the sixers little hands on it soon.
