The little toddler raccoons are the happiest, most playful little guys ever. Watching them reminds me how little family units work in every species. It's so enjoyable to observe them. I guess there are a lot of kindred spirits out there in the world who love and appreciate all kinds of animals. Even the grubby ones. Thanks for indulging me. I don't know why I like to post these but I like to sh...

This male is one that I call Headwound Harry (after an old Saturday Night Live skit). It's taking him a very long time to recover from his injuries from a wicked fight. I think he has a concussion because he's been sick to his stomach but he seems to be getting better. In the last few days his appetite seems better and his mood has improved. Apparently, most raccoons only live about two years i...

Thank you for watching.

These raccoons (as well as many across the world) are being pushed out of their homes. I understand that they are a nuisance and that most people don't like them. Obviously I don't feel that way.

That little high pitched trilling you hear is a common sound for baby raccoons. I love these guys. They're full of personality and even though everyone says they're mean, they're just doing all they can to survive this world just like the rest of us. Hu...

Born in the woods, dragged by their mother to my back deck.

This cat showed up at my back door. Several days later she brought her three kittens out after we'd passed her test. After about a month (last night) I heard a noise under the bed and saw three more babies. I had planned on having them all spayed and neutered but haven't been able to get them all yet.
