Guess who’s come to dinner? And breakfast and lunch…
Why it’s Procyon lotor, the common raccoon! And by “common,” we mean plentiferous.
He’s practically cute in a sneaky, mean, creepy kinda way. Looks at those little paws, ready to pick all the seeds out of the feeder (and possibly the eyes out of your dog).
I’m not sure what this pose is. He does it all the time when we spot him on the deck. He doesn’t hop off post haste. I might leave, I might not..What are you gonna do about it?
Heck, even with the Dog moaning/groaning/foaming, that raccoon saunters in his own sweet time.
Oh, to be so cool under pressure!
Maybe he doesn’t realize someone in the house wants to make a pin cushion out of him with her teeth, and someone else wants to make a nifty hat from his furry goodness.
Me, I just think he’s trying to get by, like the rest of us….
And you, are you gunning for him? Is he aggravating you? Or has he won you over?

Those jerks. They love to come and tease the crap out of my dog. But the bigger ones (seriously?! What are these creatures eating?! Small children?!) scare my dog. But then again, the neighborhood feral cats scare my dog…
they are HUGE, aren’t they? must be all those sunflower seeds i’m feeding ‘em!
i just saw one twice the size of Hazel lifting my feeder off a branch and thought: Why can’t racoons eat slugs. i wouldn’t mind them so much if they were eating all of the slugs out of my yard.
