R is for Raccoon

20 Comments

Reggie Raccoon is honoured to be the selection for the letter R in our countdown.

He’s waiting for that woman with the camera to go away before he’ll come down from the safety of the tree.

Next time he’ll only visit after dark when there is no danger of getting his photo taken, and when that curious Emma-dog is in the house.

That might be a good time to check out the garbage can by the back door. Last time there was a stick of pepperoni. The wind helped knock the can over, and I had a buffet midnight snack.

R is for Reggie the raccoon.

    Raccoons look darling with those bandit faces but they definitely are the best scroungers ever. Some years ago I watched a David Suzuki documentary called Raccoon Nation, which was about Toronto’s raccoon population. It was fascinating. I found a link here if you’re interested: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/raccoon-nation-introduction/7518/
    Cheers.

    I know they’re rascals. I know they can be destructive. But they’re cute, and unbelievably smart. Once upon a time one boarded our moored boat in the middle of the night and made off with the Pepperidge Farm cookies, but I even forgave that one. Sort of.

    These trash pandas are so cute and yet so messy when they find your trash. Fortunately, it is too cold for them here. We just get skunks. Happy Wednesday Anneli. Allan

    They look cute but they are smart bandits. They killed some of our chickens and knocked open the rabbit cages and killed some of them as well. Since then I really hate them!

    I like seeing raccoons in the wild, not so much in town. They tend to go where the food is. Sweet photo.
