10:00 PM Raccoon Update

Standing outside the house talking to next door neighbor Dawna, one of the baby raccoons came down around the front of the house and ran to the storm drain on the corner. When it saw us, it ran around, sort of toward us but not toward us then ran back the way it came. Not aggressive but kind of aggressive. Definitely not afraid of us. Definitely calling animal control tomorrow....

Rocky Raccoon

January 10th, 6:30 am

These tracks were on our front porch this morning at 6:30 am. Our neighbors across the street report that a giant raccoon was seen lying about our front lawn last night and that yesterday afternoon the ravens that live in the telephone pole on the corner were dive bombing it.

Coco is none too happy about this, but she is learning to deal with it by practicing to sit. Here she is showing off!
