Meet Amigo

[geminigirl]

This is Amigo (so nicknamed by my Mom) one of this year's baby raccoons making an appearance at her house. Amigo has learned to open the basement window to try to come inside.

I LOVE RACCOOOOOONSSSSZ!

Some time, I'll tell you about my Mom and her raccoons. They're rather amazing.

Did I ever finally hear the story?

Errmm cute, but adult racoons are problematic, to say the least. I'd start locking that window . .

No lock on it. That's also the primary entry for the cats in the winter during the day when no one is home.

Other than having a lot of them, we've never had a problem with raccoons at my Mom's. They don't bother the trash cans, they don't bother the cats. Once in a while they've gotten into the kitchen, usually because we've been careless about shutting a door, and raided the pantry-they usually take things like potatoes or bags of noodles which they soon realize don't taste very good.

Do they shit or piss on the floor? If not, they sound like fun indoor-outdor pets.

Nope. The closest to "hygeine" they've come to interacting with the human-space is washing paws in the swimming pool a few times.

Raccoons are really cute and smart! Love the photo.
